Les Goigs dels Ouls

Whilst at the market this morning we called in at the library where there was jazz to go along with a book signing. Saw one or two familiar faces there and those belonging to Jean and Françoise joined us for an apéritif later.
Late afternoon we became groupies, following the local sardane group who were singing their way around the village. An old Catalan tradition of singing for eggs and anything else useful for the Pascal Omelette. They kept going from 5pm until 8.30pm but we dropped out, we neither know the words or sing well enough, and went to the bar a couple of glasses of wine and a tapas of chips. In days gone by it was the young people of the village but now it's the young at heart trying to keep the tradition alive. Apparently they collected about 350 eggs as well as wine, saucisson and money to buy the dessert so Monday evening we can look forward to a good time .
