Madame Brit in Bordeaux for last 21 years. More chilled here than over at the other place. Don't want to look back & regret the things I didn't do. Mourning the recent loss of our wonderful Pistache the cat 😻

Agreed! I can't work out the hand to fingers ratio, or what the fingers are doing 🤔

You deserve to eat whatever you like given the week you've had 🤗! Good to see that Chonk hasn't wandered off again.

A real shame isn't it, so many young people are having to move away to find jobs, it's a vicious circle.

The old buildings are beautiful, such a shame the modern one was allowed to be built 🙄

Ours is suffering due to lack of attention. OH had an altercation with the lawn mower & lost (nearly cut the top of his finger off) so he's a bit HS & I've been too busy 🤷♀️

As if you don't have enough "guests" this week! Attention seeker (Ellie that is) 😉! Keep the mole away from what's left of the macarons!

A huge talent, & it seems he quietly helped a lot of people without drawing attention to himself. 2016 was a bad year for so many reasons 😕

Spooky coincidence, the results were put on the website this morning - admise 😊! A surprising number of non-admis(e) so good news for moi! No idea of how well (or not) I did, that's all it says for now 🎉

I confess to a bit of a lack of preparation 😬! The listening comprehension was really bizarre. I understood it all but sometimes none of the answers seemed to fit 🤔! Results due any time so we'll see.

Another one who left us before his time. George Michael, Bowie, Prince... 😟

Well done on your B2 oral results 👏! I did B1 & am waiting for the results. Will be lucky to scrape through based on my performance on the day & I'm apparently bi-lingual 🙄

I feel your pain! I deal with notaires etc daily & translate legal documents for clients, but I was a gibbering wreck when I did the oral for my French language exams!

I am beyond sick of the whole world dancing to the tune of an orange idiotic narcissist with the IQ of a plank of wood (& that's being generous), who should be rotting in prison, not "ruling the world" 🤬🤬🤬

Must have worked its way up to dept 17 from 33, we had it in Gironde around 1.30am, nearly fell out of bed with the crashing thunder ⚡️⛈️! All calm now.

Hmm, not convinced that will work! You may have to hide the macarons (from yourself & Mrs D too) until everyone is there 🤔

They look amazing, I'd have to try them all! Good luck trying to "ration" them & divide by 6!

Calvin is mulling over world events (not true that he has nothing going on upstairs!) - and wondering where his remaining feets has gone 🤔

Scary isn't it? - agreeing with Piers Morgan & Marjorie T-G on the same day 😲

You're right. I try to hold on to the belief that things will change for the better & that people will see that history is repeating itself, but it's not going to happen any time soon.

I can imagine 😕! My French OH lived in the UK for 14 years (well before all the Brexit bollox) & got a lot of abuse, just for being French. 22 years living in France & I've had none 🤷♀️

Agreed but could the result be any worse? I'd like to think that enough people regret how they voted & many younger people would now have a chance to have their say, but you're no doubt right, the lies are still being fed, "forriners" are still being blamed for everything. I despair, I really do 😟

If only Starmer had the couilles (he hasn't) to say ok, 9 years ago the vote was narrowly in favour of leaving the EU - but the public was lied to. Let's see what the outcome is now, with the facts this time. And the result needs to be a proper majority, either way. But it won't happen 🤷♀️
