Et Ć vous aussi!!
Actually, that makes me think - given the conversation about learning a language, perhaps there should be a category for posts in French?

Cāest une bonne idĆ©e, comment lāappeler?
Iām guessing we will learn a lot about our language skills!
On peut la nommer simplement āEn FranƧaisā
ok pourquoi pas!
Itās going to be a glorious weekendā¦
Iāve spent 3 hours at the hairdresser this afternoonā¦ my head is ringing with all that wonderful French tittle-tattleā¦ and OH is so chuffed with my new-lookā¦ that he is escorting me to the Bal tomorrow night. (OK, so weāll end up behind the bar, but it will still be fun).

Have fun en Espagne!

I have been having a massive clear out during the bad weather (still not finished, but it can wait) and will be attending a Brocante later in the year as a seller. Have done this with friends for a few years now, we have stands next to each other and share lunch, aperos, wine etc. Hard work (especially setting off at 5h30) but can be fun and have had some āinterestingā encounters.
The money I make (sometimes very little) goes into a pot for lunch out when enough has accumulated.
Found a bargain recently, a lovely 3 seater metal bench for the garden, 10 euros including the cushion, looks great

Since reading a book about Feng Shui I have tried to put it into practise. We all hang onto things thatā might be usefulā, might be able to fit into with a diet 
These things get shoved to the back of a cupboard or stored in a carton and are still there every clear out. I now consider that if they havenāt been used in the last 3 or 4 years then its unlikely they will ever be used.
When I shuffle off this mortal coil, as Del Boy says, I donāt want someone to have to clear through all my āstockā.
Having said that I would love to have a poke around in your loft Stella

An absolute addict, I have to be very selective now, or we will need to move, some incredible bargains to be had, my barograph is the latest, I will have a lot of pleasure out of that for 60 ābing bangsā

It seems āEn Franglaisā would have had more traction.
Was my French really that bad? 
(no need to reply, I know the answer).
