Dark side of the moon....

can't believe it is a week since I last blogged. Things seem to have got quite busy here in fact. Lots of workmen lunches, a rowdy Red Hatter do, and the weekend is here again. Tonight we have a group of mad Fermax men coming for drinks and to discuss various autocross events that somehow we seem to have become involved in. Tomorrow there is a village do and I am apparently going to be a waitress for the association organising things (I do the service here first then scoot off to the Salle des Fetes to join the crowds). I don't mind really, as afterwards we get offered lots of yummy home-made liqueurs and get tiddly and giggly. Scarlet spent the afternoon playing with Antoine - absolutely NOT her boyfriend she insists - they cycled around the village and the lake for over 3 hours then went paddling in the (freezing cold) lavoir. She came back happy as a butterfly and is now singing in the bath. Oh to be 7 years old again...

Total lunar eclipse tonight and we might actually see it....starts at 9.30pm and will be a total eclipse just before midnight.
