1st June: Christian managed to walk to the bar this morning for a coffee and this evening Jean-Jacques came around for something to eat.

3rd June: Christian walked even further today. Collected the newspaper and then went to the Mairie to do some work.

 Joséphine brought her strawberry cocktail mix which we topped up with cava and it too, went down well.
5th June: Less work to do today  for lunch with Jean and Françoise who brought the main course of cassoulet with them . Not exactly a warm weather dish but it was a treat for Christian. I was more seasonal with my chilled mint and courgette soup.

This evening was the neighbourhood street party with a sea and islands theme. It was lovely sitting out in the evening sunshine and seeing kids and oldies alike enjoying themselves. My contribution was Guggy Ccake but I substituted some of the water for rum! http://www.larecettedujour.org/2007/02/guggy_cake.php

6th June:
Talk about working right up until the last minute. Stuff on the computer for the association and setting up, serving and clearing up at the paella evening. One of the Deputy Mayors had offered to cook one for the association in the hunters' building. Had our apéritif outside but then 60 of us moved i
nside for the main event and my goodness, it was good. Made it home for nearly midnight and there were still  bags to pack for tomorrow.
