Back from shopping - where are you?

Ste Marietta Goretti
Yesterday's weather: Hmmmmmmm

We've gone shopping this morning. Please come back later

OK we're back now. Got enough food in for the weekend and a new toy for Jon - a big angle grinder - we know how to live, don't we? It's scary, the roads are suddenly so busy (we saw at least 50 cars on the 20 minute drive to the supermarket) and we know that it will just get worse this weekend when the French holidays really take off, and will last until the end of August. We are hoping that the visitors will bring the sunshine with them at last, but the forecast for the next week is still very disappointing.....

So, where are you?

I've been looking at the statistics for my blog and apparently the majority of people reading it are in the Gloucester (UK) region. Funny thing is, we don't know anyone in Gloucester but apparently they know us, so, bear with me (as the telephonist says) and, when you read this, please send an anonymous comment just to say where you are reading from.

We've had a few visits from Australia (G'day Aussie rellies), some from the US (Howdy you independents), one from Spain (Buenos dias, que tal?), 33 visits from Paris (since I think I'm the only person in France who logs in I don't really have a lot of faith in this report) and none at all from Germany, which is disappointing since Bernd won't read his birthday message on Sunday! We've even had a visit from Indonesia (who on earth....?).

Happy Friday all you workers! We're going to have lunch in the garden (and if it's sunny I bet you'll all be going down the pub for yours).. Have a good weekend.
