FILM AUDITION

Auditions for "The Elephant Lady" are under way.

Marie has taken it that seriously that she has got a deformed face.

Moral of the story..

Don't check on the beehive without putting your protective suit on!

CAULI NOT COLLIE

At last.

After a couple of years of failure, we have home grown

cauliflower.

SINGING THE BLUES

Saturday night we went to St Michel de Plelan for 

a bit of live music. An English/French duo put on an 

entertaining night of blues music.

Went to this bar a few years back to play darts, but since then it has been refurbished nicely, and is a decently priced creperie now.

POOL FINALS DAY

Saturday was the Brittany Summer Cup finals day for pool

in Languenan.

Having qualified by winning Division 1 we were up against the

best of the rest. 

After romping our group winning 3 out of 3, then easily winning the 1/4 finl, we failed in the Semi final, losing 6-4 to a team we had thrashed earlier in the day in our group.

Myself, Cedric, Robert and Claude had been in the finals hall for 12 hours before being knocked out.

Cedric is pictured in an early group match.

DOG TOY

After 5 years the old safestix toy broke in half leaving the dogs with no tug'o'war game.

A new one was ordered and within 3 days, normal service was resumed in the garden.

HONEY TRAP!!!

Today was the day to remove the honey from the hive.

5 whole frames were capped and should have produced around 5kg of honey.

Some of the honey had crystallized and after checking it seems that the vast amount of raspberry canes have given us a higher sugar yield, hence crystallized honey.

However, after warming and spinning the frames, the liquid honey started to come out.

Only about 4kg, but we will be better off for the knowledge next spring.
