After a good night's sleep, we conquered La Roche Bernard, the big-ish town next to Granny and Grunkle's wee village. We stopped by the cafe I'll be working at this week and next week, Le Gout de Bonheur (the Taste of Happiness) and were told to return at 3:30.
The post office was where I ran into trouble. I accidentally asked for 20 tampons instead of 20 tambres (stamps), shocking the postal man... Luckily he was understanding.
After returning home for a good laze around, we went back at 3:30 and I met the shop owner and the apprentice, who looks exactly like Mila Kunis. It's going to be a lot of fun and probably really fattening. I shall run/bike to work, so I can fit in an extra few macaroons daily. The hot chocolate is melted solid stuff, the tea heavenly, the atmosphere inviting. If you're ever in La Roche, COME HERE.
Spotted Today:
-The Corbet Family, who are goat farmers and some of the nicest, most amusing people you will ever meet. Their three children entertained us this afternoon with croquet, swimming and plenty of French jokes. The middle son has very long hair and sells fruit... We asked if it was good for business, having hair like a peach.
-Little boy getting in trouble for kissing the glass at a sandwich shop. So cute.
-Dead wasps EVERYWHERE thanks to the bug killers who took care of the deadly nest by Sam's room.
-Shporty being thrown the pool.
-Being called Bistro Barbie by Pickles (thanks mommy)
-Making fun of language programs (Where is Bryan? He is in the kitchen. Where is his sister? In the bathroom.)
And a final quote of the day
Granny Peppa: Darling, could you be a saint.
Grunkle: I am a saint.
I'm commenting! I don't have much to say except I expect you to mail me treats for your cafe and I like the image of the boy with long peach fuzz for hair- kind of like a twisty real life James and the Giant Peach
