SO THAT WAS XMAS

So that was it. Xmas day was spent at ours with John and Francoise when we had a good meal, then went up to Bruno's bar in the evening.

After that it's all been pretty quiet.

We have even decided to stay in new years eve.

EASY DARTS WIN

We had to travel to Pleurtuit last night for the 3rd round Coupe de France match and won 16-3. They play 2 leagues below us so it was not too difficult a match.

Still 3 more rounds to get through if we are to emulate making finals day like last year, but everyone is playing well and with the luck of the draw, we might just make it again.

WELL. IT"S NEARLY XMAS

And it's time for the yearly Xmas abuse of your dogs.

Arthur by the tree again, tho not impressed.

Bella got used to the abuse by the end and gave up fighting it!

ANOTHER MUSIC NIGHT

Went to the Cheval Blanc in Plancoet on Saturday to watch another live band.

To our surprise it was the old sixties band Peter, Paul, & Mary.

Er...Not really.

But plenty of Irish music, so not a bad evening.

BIG DARTS WIN

After our first defeat of the season a few weeks back we really needed to be Le Baroque who had won all their first five league games.

We raced into a 5-0 lead before they pegged it back to 7-7.

Thanks to a strong finish we won 11-8

Andy and Robere celebrate, whilst John Roberts, one of our supporters, enjoys the fact that he got 7/2 for us to win!

Bye Bye Baroque.

The losers go home.

COLD MORNINGS

The mornings are bloody cold now, but the dogs still need a good walk. We have been doing the full perimeter of the Village which is about 6km

WE DRAW CHELSEA!

The Coupe de France 2010 kicks off for us next week away to Chelsea!

Not quite that Chelsea, but the town of Pleurtuit at the Chelsea Cafe.

Here is hoping to as much success as last season,

ODD DOG!

Bella has taken to hanging round her food bowl all day. They say dogs get like their owners!

OUT TO LUNCH

Monday we went to Francois house (JB's latest concubine) in Dinan for lunch.

Had a meal of smoked salmon, and fondue and as usual drank quite a bit of wine.

A SHORT DELAY

We are having a few computer problems so the blog might be a few days before updating.

Much to add as well.

Back very soon.
