What has pleased you today

[Gigi]

Seeing my brother enjoy tucking into his belated birthday lunch at their local pub, it’s a gastropub, a really good one if rather pricey. He hadn’t been feeling up to going out plus my husband had a few medical appointments so arranging it was a bit tricky. It was good to see the staff greeting him, ask how he’s doing - he and my late SIL used to be regulars there. It was a really good outing for us all.

In Angleterre at the moment and, apart from the horrendous traffic, enjoying things. Lovely mild weather with a temp of 12 degrees at 18.00, diesel at £1.289/litre at Tesco and we’ll shortly be tucking into a stonking prime Irish sirloin steak, a steal at £14.99/kilo. This will be accompanied by too many glasses of U’s excellent Cotes du Rhône. Ah c’mon, it’s almost Christmas!
Bon weekend,
Syd.

Central heating on the blink?

I agree CD, prices are very low in the shops, be it the supermarkets or clothing shops (not that I have been in too many of them). Did look in Clarks whose prices compared to those in France are very low (anyone looking for walking/trainer types they have very good ones at around just £67 ).

I’ve been meeting people that I have not met before who, when they find out I live in France, invariably tell me how they might be joining me soon. They usually go straight into what they think about Brexit and how it’s all a mess with them either wanting a second vote or for it just to be stopped. And that is before I have expressed my opinion on it. It seems it is not just on the forum that people want to talk about Brexit.

Holy cow! Is that cheap? Just shows how much things have changed since I've had to do any shopping. I agree Clarks are excellent shoes. I have weird shaped feet and have never found it easy to get shoes that don't hurt but Clarks are so well designed and have enough fitting options that they work. I just get S/H ones off ebay to get them at an affordable price.
