My family is a bit like that, dad and his nephew were similar ages, with the nephew younger by a few years.

I lie watching these guys, but tend to put my hand over the screen at times! 
When these seals are chased and caught can be upsetting to watch, but the stress/pain that may be felt by these seals during these ordeals is thoroughly worth it. This is âtough loveâ.
These guys do not have any veterinary resources but they rescue these seals from the most awful entanglements which only takes a few minutes to cut away, to prevent many, many lingering deaths.
You can see from this photo how bad it can get. This seal was released from its torture successfully and went splashing back into the sea as soon as its blue plastic ânecklaceâ was cut away.

Wow⊠we dined-out yesterday⊠first time since 2019.
Our favourite Perigueux restaurant came up trumps.

Looks lovely Stella - wish it was closer. 
Now then @SuePJ
thought you were made of sterner stuff⊠
We drove to Paris for a meal (some years ago).
The owner was delighted/astounded when he found out just how far away we lived⊠we simply shrugged it off âŠ
The meal was fabulous and we slept at a friendâs home just down the roadâŠ
Of course, it wasnât really just for the meal (with our Paris car club pals)
it was en route to The Channel Tunnel ⊠and weâd booked a crossing for the next day.

Just looked at the menu @Stella , and Iâm drooling. There is absolutely nothing on that menu that I would not absolutely love. Iâm jealous. Iâm in the UK and soon about to go to my favourite restaurant here, so that makes me feel a little better.

As I said⊠first time in so long⊠and well worth it.
Many restaurants have closed/fallen by the wayside due to covid/health problems and Iâm so relieved that this one has managed to stay afloat.

Menu looks lovely!!!
Iâm going to book here for dhâs birthday in a few weeks with some friends so I can spy on my son 
Iâve nipped to McDo and BK (today)the odd time and ds2 and I went for a chinese buffet lunch in teh summer but not been to a real restaurant since pre covid! Never something that we doo regularly but usually at least birthdays / anniversary etc. Ohhh talking of it is my wedding anniversary in a week or so so maybe can go then as well
I think I have finally settled in here in France - yesterday at the Barbers he asked âcomme dâhabitude?â (= the usual?)
Life will be so much easier from now on as I donât have to try and fumble my way to explain âshort back & sidesâ !

Mine is the opposite, leave the sides long enough to comb towards the back. But it is many years since I first had to nod to âcomme dâhab?â
We have just been to the hairdressers this morning and Jim had his usual hair and eyebrow cut.
I have changed my style and now we both understand what I want.
A shorter cut for me, but not severe and with short curls at the back.
Morning All
Back home from a visit to the UK.
So good to be out of the mad house that is the UK.
Glorious sunny Normandy morning.
