Sunrise over La Renaudière, 25 July 2007I have two blog topics milling around in my head: the walk with Callie and how she is afraid of shadows, and my experience as an expatriate trying to purchase a new digital camera from an American Internet vendor. Maybe I'll get one of them done later today.
We have an artichoke! Two of them, actually.The other three plants are good-for-nothings.
Tomorrow we are liable to have power outages any time between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., according to the EDF letter. I'm sure they will have the power turned on around noon so that we can all cook lunch — that's sacred. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to leave my computer turned off all during the day to avoid crashes.
First of all, I meant to thank your friend CHM for the tip about Fortnum and Mason's. I sent a friend to old England, where she got 4 packs of the tea I like which she bought for 2€ each. I checked F&M for the price in London, and it's 2.50£ there. Pounds, not euros.
ReplyDeleteI might take a trip to Old England on Monday, when I get back to Paris.
Next year, I have to visit Saint-Aignan at artichokes time. I've never tasted a garden artichoke. I hope you'll let us know how good they were.
