Bad Timing

A day when things didn't go according to plan. Firstly Thérèse rang at the last minute to say that she couldn't come to help as family had arrived which meant that I had to scoot around doing some cleaning as well as preparing dinner for six of us. Then Michel telephoned to say that he and Alain were going to be late, then Juste and Joséphine phoned to say that their son from Paris had turned up unexpectedly so they wouldn't be coming, then to cap it all, the skies opened and put pay to eating on the terrace. Still, there was so much food left over that Michel and Alain were able to leave with a doggie bag and I didn't have to think about cooking for the rest of the weekend.
