Bring out the Gimp.

Look at all the things.

More French signs

 

Does what it says on the tin.

Uhhhh...

Jumps a TRUCK!

Drive-by bakery

I'm not in France anymore, I just got back to Amersham after a week in Cumbria.  I didn't mind not having internet for a week.  The internet is crap.  C'est la merde.

On prend un verre

They drink in France - like every day, all day long-type drinking.  I was helping set up the local fair last week (called a 'Mechoui', there will  be a separate post on that soon), and lunchtime for the volunteers was insane.  Started with a round of Sangria and baguette with pate.  Then Kier with the next course.  Next it was white wine with baguette and cheese.  Then beer with the next course.  On to the panache (pronounced 'panashay'), which is beer and fizzy lemonade, then red wine, more beer, and so on and so on, I can't remember too much about the end of the meal.  After we stumbled back and finished work, it was 'On prend un verre!' over at the village pub or at some farmer's house.  It's beer with boules (bacci ball), wine with dinner, and drinks for the sundown.
  In other news, I've been a bit sleepy lately, I wonder why.  Gotta go, it's beer o'clock.

Quelques choses que j'ai vu en France

Baby graves are the scariest

Here is some crap I saw in France.  It's raining at the moment, and the roof is leaking into little pails all over.

France Pants

 I'm in France, in a tiny town called St. Aubin  Fosse Louvain.  It's in Pays de la Loire, just a hair south of Normandy.  Been eating lots of the baguette, drinking plenty of the wine, and looking at stacks of les oiseaux Francaises.  I’m staying in a farm building that was built in 1664, and the conveniences haven’t improved too much since then, I imagine.  With the building’s stone walls and slate roof being open to the elements on many fronts, it’s basically like camping. Old French ladies seem to think my French accent is cute, which is always a plus, I suppose.  Spent the last two nights laying out at night watching the stars, satellites, and Tawny Owls, so good times.
