  • Morning walk. Took a while to de-ice the car though. This proper winter stuff is going to take some adjustment
  • And the outlook for Thursday....
  • We spent the evening watching a show about a man and his 67 buckets. Well, technically 70. He broke three, in his various attempts to stack them, slide them or hop about the stage in them, to the children’s great hilarity. It was a mime act in the finest French tradition, with tons of physical humour and comical facial expressions reminiscent of silent films. Bonus - The lack of dialogue was perfect for beginning French learners. A fun family outing, provided free of charge by the local theatre where he was the departing artist in residence
  • Aux enfants de l’Ariège morts pour la France. Always so sobering to see the family names repeated on our tiny village memorial, and stand among their descendants
  • Saturday in Carcassonne. I was pleasantly surprised by this famous but lovely little town. Also, we went away to Paris and came back to autumn and winter in one week. The hills around our house are dusted white, so today began the mad scramble of begging, borrowing and buying ski gear. Outfitting a family of five from head to ski takes quite a number of items and keeping track of who-needs-what is proving quite the puzzle
