Chez Ray & June's for today's French lesson. Myra brought in a French leaflet on how to whack some paper-mâché (chewed paper in French) bee stuffed with sweets hung from the ceiling. To break into it broom handles were not recommended but this was ignored and a spade was then used to break it open. People do some funny things in their own homes. Anyway all those sweets are bad for children no wonder they want to impose fluoridation on the rest of us. Apparently the French do it all the time.
Mike then told us about his trip to warmer climes off the African coast on some Island that was filled with caves hollowed out from old lava channels, Sounds dangerous it blew only 200 years ago not long really. All in French of course so a lot escaped me. He did say after a week he had enough so I won't go there this year.
June was very creative in producing a poem about her visit to Paris Oh La la. There are artistes there in plenty and one did a very good portrait drawing of June.
Ray was disappointed the pencil snapped before his fine features were drawn
Geoff translated another Coffee Break French for us and we just had time to go through it before dashing off to a lunch at the Ship Inn.
