It is a bit primitive, but together with the large S A L E vinyl letters pressed to the glass, it has gotten the attention of many eager shoppers.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818843609487177461.post-41744889090123656772007-07-02T22:03:00.000+01:002007-07-02T22:03:00.000+01:00Personally I've never washed my dirty linen in pub...Personally I've never washed my dirty linen in public...

Much depends on how well those pegs are constructed - I myself tend to favour a clip (although of wood, not plastic of course). I should invest in a sturdy supply post haste, before Mme G comes another cropper.<BR/><BR/>You were indeed lucky not to have lost all your staff. I imagine a stiff drink may be inorder.<BR/><BR/>(And, yes, I tend to agree with you on the subject of Germaine. I can't think Un Peu would have been in favour, despite the onerous responsibility of running a household such as yours...)LITTLE BROWN DOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176955139690523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818843609487177461.post-80230654755448016782007-07-02T18:55:00.000+01:002007-07-02T18:55:00.000+01:00There is, by coincidence, a most wonderful and sus...There is, by coincidence, a most wonderful and sustained washing line sequence set in a suburban Dublin garden at about this epoch in Donleavy's 'The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B.' Though he doesn't manage to combine them with ponds - or frogs - which I trust you all ate afterwards. I have never eaten frog, not really seeing the point, as I am told they taste just like chicken. And who needs meat anyway when the great Breton artichokes are just coming into voluptuous ripeness. Dipping the leaves in molten lemon butter is one of the world's great pleasures.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818843609487177461.post-2749907830309637292007-07-02T18:29:00.000+01:002007-07-02T18:29:00.000+01:00I can't remember the last time I hung washing out ...I can't remember the last time I hung washing out here! You'll have to get the goosegrease out again on Loic's chest ...(and implements) otherwise he will seize up all over again!<BR/><BR/>The Long Engagement....enjoyed it except for the graphic blood and gory bits ...Yuk.... at the begining.( I do not 'do' bodily fluids!) Audrey Tautou knows her stuff doesn't she? Yes... I even laughed at the farting dog! When it did show some nice scenery I really loved that....and the lighthouse! I read Sebastian Faulks Birdsong when I was in hospital and I think the war scenes as depicted in the film although vile were pretty accurate of 'The Somme'and there was a vaguely similar thread running through both that film and Birdsong.<BR/><BR/>Thanks anyway for that... I doubt if I would have watched it if you hadn't suggested it...now we must get back to that gardener chappie of yours......snailbeachshepherdesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01397158758052413758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818843609487177461.post-70128290608469008302007-07-02T14:17:00.000+01:002007-07-02T14:17:00.000+01:00Oh I adore the painting.
