The idea is to eliminate plastic. Good idea. Re buying pineapple, I learned while living next to a pineapple plantation in Africa that the way to tell a pineapple is ripe is to smell it (not possible if in plastic). The leaf test is useless. <br />The parking space is also a good idea, but good luck with that. My glare was not enough to dissuade a young couple who pulled into the handicap spot this morning and hopped out. No handicap sticker. Just a very big SUV. Usually they simply park over two spaces.<br />The gas thing in Europe is about natural gas coming from Russia via the Nord Stream pipeline and Putin wanting to wreak havoc, not just for France but for all of the EU. No trouble expected for petrol for cars. <br />Taste of Francehttp://francetaste.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-56539429036343562132021-10-11T11:22:54.738+02:002021-10-11T11:22:54.738+02:00We have the choice of seeded or seedless grapes he...We have the choice of seeded or seedless grapes here, but they come packaged in plastic - as does almost everything else. A start has been made with unwrapped vegetables, and some fruits, which we all tend to put into a plastic bag! I often buy half a pineapple, tightly wrapped in cling film, but need to eat it within a day or two - it tends to turn over-ripe very quickly. Each week I can fill a sizeable bin bag for recycling, with my plastic containers and wrappings - goodness knows how much a family of four or more must collect.<br />C-A-T looks far too healthy to be a stray or feral, so it probably just prefers your garden, and the fun it has when Sophie gives chase in the wrong direction!<br />Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-63312727605053058852021-10-11T08:23:32.019+02:002021-10-11T08:23:32.019+02:00Even living here in the land of the fugu, I had no...Even living here in the land of the fugu, I had no idea they had such artistic talents, nor did my husband. Perhaps they don't publicize it in Japan lest people start feeling guilty about eating them? It is interesting to know that seedless grapes have not taken hold in France. In Japan, everything is seedless these days, even the very traditional domestic varieties. This is disappointing to our parrot, who favors grapes with seeds. Japanese people do still peel their grapes before eating, so some traditions remain intact. I am starting to develop a theory that Sophie is actually aware of the C-A-T but is trying to remain cool.Lisa in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080757130655335246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-77581113289962484982021-10-11T07:34:13.340+02:002021-10-11T07:34:13.340+02:00That puffer fish video.
