A Bit of Normality

21.11.14:
Jean-Jeacques with us for a lunch. That's to say, rice with what ever there was in the frigdge jazzed up with roast tomatoes, ham and hard boiled eggs.

19° Sun, cloudy later.

Language Exchange but this time had lunch at home.

Hunters kill a bull by mistake. Yes, really, that was today's top news story in the local paper.

19.11.14:
 Went up to "Carpe Diem" in Amélie to a restaurant owned by an ex-resident of the village.  In fact he was the first chef at the bar here when Jean-Louis took over. Simple food but very pleasant atmosphere. Guilhaume had a few interesting things about Tripadvisor and other restautanteurs. A quick whizz around Lidl on the way back and then over to Maggie's to see how she was after a wee op.

18.11.14:
Starting to feel human again with a day where I had enough energy to get out of the house. In the afternoon, to buy 3 rather natty hats from a member of the association who used to be a hat rep. You'll see one of them on the post for the 23rd November (yes, this is a catch up). Then in the evening, we were invited to Nick and Lizzie's for dinner and to meet Erica and Doug who are hoping to buy in the village. Good food, interesting conversation and I even allowed myself a small glass of cava., even though booze is not recommended with antibiotics.
Weather:
17° Cloudy with sunny spells
