Grey was the sky drizzling the day long, it suited my mood. The day after any lovely time spent away from the normal routine is a bit of a let down, and more often than not it calls for a rest. The Muse ended and the skies were grey, fitting after saying goodbye to four lovely new friends. I imagine for them it is quite the same feeling, especially adding the surreal-ness of flying.
Lizzie who was on the French Muse with us, sent this photo of Ruth and me.
As you can see I have a pot on that beautiful table, next time I gotta remember to take
a soup tureen. I made a mango curry coconut vegetable soup.
French Husband went sailing today on a very ruffled sea, (photos on FB) while I stayed home admiring the calm, silent energy that a being home alone can allow. When French Husband sent me photos I was SO GLAD I wasn't on that sailboat! Eight hours of rock and roll, plus rain… Though the sea's wild dance reminded me of Westport which made me smile.
The roses in our garden reminded me of cotton candy, they were a delightful surprise after being away these last nine days. Our other roses are out of reach to cut and bring inside, but these are at arm's length, yet I felt guilty cutting them.
Later this evening French Husband came home exhausted, though happy, blindly ate dinner and went to bed. Happy is his soul. Sacha came home after working on a film in Bordeaux, I was thrilled to see him and hear his tales. Between sleepy French Husband and talkative Sacha, I managed a souvenir (a photo of gnocchi with truffles, cream and peas) which is a miracle in itself considering how fast they were devoured by those two guys of mine.
Chelsea is enjoying her work with Danone in Bangladesh. Please go over to her blog and take a look. Chelsea posts weekly and the photos are vastly different than our daily life.
The ex-owners of the fisherman's house gave us this photo of their family standing in front of our place.
There was a tree? Their grandparents had a
grocery store where Chez Gilbert's restaurant is now. Where they are standing is now a covered terrace
for dining.
The landscape where we live.
