We are getting our hair cut today! The end result is that my VERY short ‘do makes me look like a chic, French woman. Howard looks equally nice but not very different from the usual. We went to the shop Catherine goes to. Everyone was very nice. There are two English speaking clients that offer to help with translations. On the whole I think my hairdresser and I did pretty well. Her co-workers expressed surprise when she was able to come up with some English phrases. We were looking pretty shabby but now we are lookin’ not too bad.
Then off to Catherine and Steven’s for lunch. It is a beautiful day with not too much wind although we eventually needed to move from one terrace to another when the umbrella started to fly away. The Hartley’s say this spring has been unusually windy. I truly couldn’t live here if it were this windy all the time.
We enjoyed our lunch wind-free on the front terrace. Catherine prepared an incredible chicken curry meal. It was served with rice and a wonderful eggplant side-dish. We ate every bit and sucked the bones dry. The clafoutis, a traditional French dessert, was made from the cherries that are just now showing up in the markets. Yum! The four of us talked about our recent adventures. Howard and I talked about our great visits with our friends and our sight-seeing trips. The Hartley’s told us about their trip to England and a recent overnight camping trip in their restored vintage VW camper.
