wednesday 22 July

I'm back in Couze after a long day of travel and a fun but, shall we say, not restfull, couple of days. I am also heartened to get a couple of messages fussing at me for not writing for awhile, and writing me via email to tell me they are enjoying my blog. RIght now it's late, I'm tired, tomorrow I have to (a) go to the market, (b) figure out some interesting new place to visit because we're leaving in a week, and (c) organize people to fix the plumbing (not done yet!), repair the wall in the bathroom downstairs (ditto), look after the house while we're back in the US (perhaps I shouldn't go back! anybody want to come over here and stay with me? and then go back with me sometime later? I can't do it by myself), (d) clean the place and get ready to leave in a week.

After Phil picked me up at the (!) Bergerac Airport (at least it's not as bad as Stansted, however, it's actually smaller and in a lot of ways even more irritating), we went to LeClerc, this sort of super-Walmart-wannabe, sort of. We bought Phil some more printer ink (a cartridge), returned his size 43 sneakers I bought him for 10 euros to use for yard work, but they were too small, bought him some bigger ones (also size 43, but they cost 3 euros more), and bought fish (oysters and flounder), salad and bread for dinner. Came back and made dinner. It's hot. Maybe it'll rain and cool off. It was cloudy, wet, windy and COLD in England.

More later. I will write about the other stuff we did in England.

  1. I hope you don't stop blogging when you return to the US.
    How did you prepare the oysters & flounder? I'm addicted now to the food prep stuff you've been posting.

  2. Try 1 using Name/URL didn't work.
    Brought up my Google account to which I was already logged in.
    Executed Try 2.
    It worked.
    Just takes trial and error. Probably people Michael's & Sarah's age and younger would succeed first try.

  3. I'm glad you're back on the blog! Martin called from atlanta yesterday and sounded happy and relaxed from the trip, and not even too bummed to be going home. He said he had a great time in France and England both, but that he was pretty worn out from the singing schedule in England.

    Let's plan to talk sometime this weekend!

    Love,
    Sarah

  4. He came over to my room once when they had some free time and crashed on my bed until I made him get up. And every time he and I would go somewhere in the car, he's go to sleep instead of help me navigate (not actually true; he was a great navigator, but he slept whenever I'd let him). The trip left him really whacked. Glad his trip back was uneventful.
