First one here this morning too! I’m waiting for my ‘melodious warbler’ to return now..

Rosie is fairly clear that she only likes croquettes. Everything else offered receives a disdainful, monotone, “maow”. She’s a menopausal female. Very little tolerance for crap 🤣

My Rosie - I feel her expression reflects your current frustration

Mosquito net installed. Now to enjoy the upcoming summer without all the bites 🦟

Did you do it at A level? I did in 1989 - “je suis dans la nuit et j’essaie d’y voir clair” has always stuck with me. Dr Rieux 😊

Fantastic initiative.

We’re selling my Dad’s house here in SW France and the estate agent showed me all the enquiries she has from the US, it turns out I now have US neighbours just up the lane. It’s quite the influx round here.

We have a yellow terrace, the cars are covered in yellow pollen. Surrounded by trees.. sneezing and coughing like a good’en here

We’d love to share your art this weekend? Were you inspired by the rocket to the moon last week? 🚀

My Nan was declared to be hours away - as the family gathered from points across the country she picked up with each new arrival and by midnight was sitting up and chatting. The nurse said she’d never seen anything like it. She lived 5 more years. Family was everything to her. Best wishes.

Fabulous art challenge. Every artist submitting is credited and their work shared 🐣

Choco 😊

We’re already à sec here - no diesel to be had near us. I’ve half a tank - fortunately my daughter’s car is essence which she’s just managed to fill up.

When can start talking about regime change in the US?

Interesting to see this confirmed. My daughter was offered a place at George Washington Uni next year but chose to go to Cardiff. Places in Canada were in high demand whilst US unis had unfilled spots.

Snow in Grenoble this morning, my daughter tells me.

Predicted far more victories than they actually had. Lost in Toulon and Marseille which had been heavily trailed as potential gains.

This little so and so couldn’t open his eye this morning, and it looked pussy. By the time we got him to the vets everything was fine again 🙄, a quick check up and an eye drop given to make sure. He obviously needed big cuddles this evening to recover.

I got Dymista spray and Desloratatine tablets - I had been suffering with an awful cough and streaming eyes and this combination works for me

I found allervie less coma-making but in the end gave up last year and went to the Drs and the stuff he gave me actually works and yay, no coma. I’ve missed today’s phone sprint for an appt to get restocked so it will have to be tomorrow now.

What on earth has taken you so long?

As Trump contemplates deploying ground troops in Iran, it's time to reinstate the Ancient Greek principle: that anyone declaring war is expected to lead their army into battle.

The 3 guys having a fag outside the mairie turned out to be the ‘bureau de vote’ officials. Only one list. First time for my daughters today, the one in Grenoble tells me she voted communist - as they built the cool new shopping centre. That feels incredibly French somehow 🤣🇫🇷

Well this European just saw diesel go up by 50c a litre.. now over 2€ a litre so we’re sacrificing for Trump’s war too 🙄😳🤬

Someone (or maybe 2 people) had a bad day… fresh concrete and foot prints 🤣

a man in a protective suit is holding a shovel . ALT: a man in a protective suit is holding a shovel .

Particularly pleased with myself and my daughter - we managed to sort out a messy fosse septique problem and saved ourselves 300 €. 💪👌

Could be worse, the French would have asked for an attention de domicile from the last 3 months and a RIB 🙄🤣

In other news… blue sky… finally
