Tea time
Yesterday afternoon we went to have tea with some friends in La Rochelle. It was really wierd on the way in, hardly any traffic on the road. Russian Earl Gray is suprisingly refreshing on a hot day. Later we went to the park to see the animals and birds. Olivier found some bread to throw to the swans and ducks. Even they weren't too enthusiastic in the heat. This morning it is 34°C in the shade and the weather is set for another week.

Just visiting
Every morning I try to visit my blog friends. Everyone leads different lives. It's so interesting. With the comments boxes I join in on all sorts of conversations and most days I add a new blog to my list. I also feel good because I see that I'm getting one or two more visits. Thankyou for popping by. I don't usually have much to say but I assure you all that my life feels just right at the moment. (My kids would ask "Have you been smoking the carpet?"). Fingers crossed for September, but I'll worry about that when it comes. If someone could just turn the temperature down a few degrees.......................;

In the middle of the night
I wake up with the most brilliant ideas for posts. Why can't I remember them? I can't run to the computer because , as it's the holidays Dom is on till the early hours. It's the only time she gets to be on her own as everything she does is top secret
I heard that one of Dom's friend's Mothers thinks that I'm irresponsable for letting my daughter on the internet late into the night. She might meet a rapist or something. Sorry, that just about puts all American males out of bounds as they only use the internet at night (looking at it from our timezone point of view) I just happen to know that her daughter, who always goes to bed early and never talks to strangers etc., had to go to the school nurse for a morning after pill. At least I know where my daughter is and what she's doing. I also have confidence in her choice of friends and boyfriends (Is that okay Dom?)

Backache
I'm having my first bout of backache in a long time. This is my question for all you people out in Blogland. Do back problems make you more clumsy? I always seem to drop more things on the floor than usual. I'm pretty good at picking things up with my toes, the problem then is reaching my toes to take what has ben picked up! I wonder if someone would like to use this question for a thesis? Walking helps me a lot and I like going for walks so in a few days I should be recovered.

Well
we're off to a hot start again today already 30°C in the shade and it's only 9.44 in the morning. Yesterday evening Dom and Olivier were swimming in the sea untill 10pm, the beach was pretty crowded; people and mosquitoes. We went to collect them and then on to the campsite for a glass of cider. On our way out we saw Monique and she told us they now have perry too. We shall be back to visit them before the end of the week I'm sure. Monique is at the very top of the page!

Thanks Kevin
I'm still struggling with the archives but I've still got plenty of ideas. Dom who knows how to do everything with a click of the mouse has gone for a swim at a friends. As it's so hot here she won't be in much of a hurry to get home

Archive update
Dom and I are getting closer. Someone visited my site via the archives!! This inspired us to have another try, you will now get a diffrent type of message if you try to visit them. We think it is something to do with dates but we can't quite see where to put them in the template. Of course Dom's blog publishes it's own archives automatically. (It would)

Peanut butter helps you lose weight!!
Peanut butter helps you lose weight!!
Writing in "Woman" magazine, Michael Van Straten reports that U.S. studies have found that a teaspoon a day can help you lose weight. Yippeeeee! It can also help to prevent adult-onset diabetes. Good news for people like me who are at high risk of diabetes.
Michael Van Straten always gives such sensible advice on alternative health with a touch of humour. Thanks Michael!!

I was
sorting out my kitchen shelves this afternoon. I found lots of treasures; sea shells, marbles, miss spelt love letters from the children when they were small. I've got lots of recipe books and cuttings of recipes. Can someone please tell me how to organise myself to actually remember to use them?
