Kimbo: Who are these people behind me?
Lady M: Look, I've been working my hands to the bone!
Wills: Are you sure this jam doesn't contain meat?
Cro (wearing new watch): There's a wasp drowning in my coffee!
Boo Boo: Leave me alone, I'm still in bed.
Just a typical breakfast with the Magnon family. Croissants, Pain au Chocolat, Coffee, Home-made jams, amusing repartee, planning the day's events, plenty of irrational suggestions.
We decided to go to the lovely market in the village of Cazals. Far too many people, mostly Brits, with the women wearing long diaphanous dresses and large straw hats, and the men in awful shorts sandals and long socks. We head for a shady bar and drink ice cold beer before heading home for lunch.
Lunch is varied. I eat water melon, others eat bread and cheese, someone even opened a tin of mackerel in a white wine sauce. No two people ate the same things. All very relaxed.
Swimming, snoozing, walks with Billy. For supper I cook roast chicken and roast potatoes with a salad. We eat quite late then attempt to empty Europe's 'wine lake' until our sides begin to burst from laughter. We play 'Guess the flavour' with our crisps. It's been just another sunny summer's day in the Magnon household. Boo Boo has kept us amused, we also played a very silly general knowledge game (but with Kimbo's oddball rules), and we all retire feeling well fed and very tired.
It's been about 28 C, and tomorrow (today) will be 33 C. Still not overpowering, but it's heating up again after a brief lull. Traditionally heat builds-up to mid August, then we have violent storms.
We have all that to look forward to. Kimbo flew back to Blighty yesterday afternoon. Otherwise, all is well.

What a perfect day. Happy memories have been made 🥰
Coming to an end all too soon, sadly. We've had a really good time together.
You paint a perfect summer's day with family. It's just as it should be, enjoying life together the way only a close family can.
Sounds wonderful.
We have a lot of fun. My boys are very funny.
If only it could always be like that!
Perfect.
Sadly, people have to return to work. It would have been nice if they could be with us until September.
What a lovely day you had, and nice to see Lady M !
She's usually hiding!
If only all days could be like that but if they were, I guess that tedium might set in and you would be longing for more solitude.
I'm getting too old for excessive excitement, so The 'solitude' is often quite welcome.
You live a wonderful life. I hope you appreciate how lucky you are!
We all do, but we've worked hard at it.
May you all remember wonderful days like this.
It is the simple pleasures that make the day.
From the bug swimming in your coffee to the shock and awe suggestion of meat in Lady M's jam...it's all in good fun. Love the reactions.

How wonderful x
Lovely photo.
We certainly will. It all comes to an end today, but it's been one of our best summers. Life will be very quiet without them.
And we had no arguments!
She does like her anonymity.
Pity that Boo Boo wasn't there too!
