Catching up

People have said to me that they don't know how I find the time to write a blog. Well, as you, my faithful few have realised I've let things slip of late. Even though it's a beautiful day (25°) outside rather than turn my freckles to the sun I thought I'd better fill in a few gaps and bring you up to date.
Today started as most Saturday's do with a trip to the market where pale skinned folk with bright red streaks could be seen enjoying the atmosphere while they bought their saucisson, olives and fruit. Strawberries at 4.50€/2kg. Bought some for lunch -yummy. While I'm on the subject of unseasonality, I have a vase of berry coverd holly and lily-of-the-valley in the house which makes an unusual combination. Traditionally, lily-of-the-valley is given on the 1st of May. Do hope that we don't have a late cold snap as I heard that you're subject to today.
Heard on the news that poor old Philip is in hospital. I do hope that it's not as a result of being close to Carla raising his blood pressure!
