Joyeux Anniversaire !


Val outdid herself tonight, putting together an awesome dinner for Christian’s birthday.    The main  course  was  a  monkfish  tajine  and  I  can  report  with  confidence  that  there  were absolutely no leftovers.

This followed a long apéro with lots of delicious little dishes and two (or was it three?) bottles of Champagne.

We finished with a fantastic cake from a famous local baker.  Plus more Champagne.

It was great to see our friends, all of whom were neighbors two years ago when we stayed in Le Thor.  It was a chance to catch up on the neighborhood gossip, some of which was quite juicy!

The only odd thing was that at about 11:30pm my brain seemed to become saturated with French and wouldn’t absorb any more.  After that I could see people’s lips move but couldn’t understand a thing they said.  So I did what I always do in this situation – smile, nod and pour.
