Bin stoopid hot here an all.
Went for the usual monthly big shop and lunch at our fave place.
Before that, as the sales are on, (dates ruled by the gubmint, so much for "Liberté, Fraternité etc")
So W's annual trip to the specialist bra shop. 30% off is not to be sniffed at when each one can cost €100 or more.

How the heck can they justify it??? And W's eldest dottir suffers the same, she gets them from Victoria's Secret and they are hugely expensive as well, small back, big Bristols, cost a packet!
The eatery has has a "relooking" (Don't blame me the frogs pinch and then misuse our words all the time).
So it's name has changed from the "Brasserie Europe" to "Red Line".
They now do flipping Tapas and the normal menu has changed somewhat. More evidence of Mocktails, etc. I guess they paid some blerk to come in and see if he could raise or modernise its profile.
It used to be like a Brit pub with lots of pics and stuff related to early 20th century, or older, British rugby.
Sign of the times. At least they are still the most popular place in the centre of town and we still get a very warm welcome and excellent service. The food is still good and reasonable.
So after that off to a couple of shops. Filling the trolley in Auchan. Met a very nice American couple who have been living here for the past 9 years. Boy are they ashamed of the sTrumpet!! Lovely long chat so we'll be seeing more of them. Nice to make yet more new friends who are younger than us.
Got home, still blazing hot but not quite so bad at 600 metres. After unpacking and putting away W watered while I got on with tasting, adjusting and bottling the Creme de Cassis. Got 6 1/2 bots so pleased with that.
Hope you are all enjoying your evenings.
