SaligoBay Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Saturday. Two corridas at the Fete de Lunel, then four abrivados, listened to brass band, then had big noisy meal with about 50 club taurin members, ate stuffed encornets, then what looked suspiciously like tinned mixed fruit for dessert. Highly alcoholic Sangria and much wine was imbibed by all. Invited chez the landlord in the evening, ate magret de canard and ratatouille. Looked at stars, listened to Scops Toad (or was it a Midwife Owl?), got cold, discussed cabbages, kings, class in Britain, and house prices.Sunday. Messed around with guests until they left, then wandered through the woods to see the Tour de France whizzing past. Had beer chez friend who lives by the route and watched for ourselves on the vid. On way home had a tipunch or two with Guad copain (it would have been churlish to refuse, nesspa?), took home a hatful of ripe figs, and here we are back at home, just about containing our excitement at the prospect of yet ANOTHER salad!Thank goodness for alcohol, I can pretend the landlord didn't really say he wanted 400 000 euros for the house, non-negotiable! I don't have a satellite dish. I reckon 20 sur vingt for integration, whaddya all reckon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaacsnana Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Better than my weekend SB. Did grocery shopping yesterday. Gigantic storm last night so I hardly slept. Got up late, had big brekkie. Partner went to play petanque, I went to bed.Now am catching up on the forum. Been miserable weather today anyway, so I dont feel too bad.PS We DO have a satellite dish. We cant pick up French TV on it, and Grant keeps promising to erect an aerial so that we can, to help improve our French, or if only to watch the weather forecast. Also, at the risk of being stoned to death - I DO watch some soaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
