Summer madness

Julie and Kym were here for the weekend last week so we showed them some sights and of course some of the local delicasies.Lola enjoyed hanging out with her cousin.They were only here for 2 nites so it was a bit of a whirlwind visit.

Summer madness has well and truly started here with so many of the main roads blocked with incoming tourists.Theyve been lucky with beach weather, and ypically unprepared for the summer heat.Last week everyday was over 30°With 38° on thursday,so hot they are dropping like flies.I love to watch the french sweat and squirm in the heat.I always comment to them on the beautiful weather and they think i'm crazy as its too much for them!Wheres your scarf now you pussys?

I also had great pleasure in watching the overpaid,spoilt,underacheiving soccer team implode at the world cup.What a ridiculously embarrassing experience that was for them with their french pride!The french public,the government and of course the media have crucified all involved,with many sackings and retributions.Off with their Heads!!!!!!!!!

I picked up a gothic style antique backing for the fireplace in the second living room.Very solid,very heavy cast iron plate that should come up wellwhen restored.A guy renovating a mansion in Tyrosse gave it to me as it wont fit his style.I dont think he realises the value of something like that.I was prepared to pay for it but has a coupla broken bits so he didnt want anymoney.Cool!!!
