The Fridays tour - Normandy 15th-22nd June

'Poor performances'? Oooh get you, Mr Cowell.

Now, I'm sure you all have lovely singing voices and I'll be the only tone-deaf one there. However, should alcohol and other factors leave your vocal stylings lacking, I wish to be prepared.

 

[StuAff]

Is this not your normal preference?

Some of my taste may sound excruciating to others. Some of yours, and everyone else's might well be excruciating to me. Each to their own.

Mice says piano is out of tune and some of the keys don't work. And she should know as she is here to add to our intellectual heft. And converse with Johnny Foreigner.

 

[StuAff]

One of the Tims probably have the right tools, we could borrow them.

Message from DZ:-

A delightful fifty miler and back to the chateau for smoked salmon and champagne. Such are the sacrifices the recce crew are making on your behalf.

Grrrr.

And he's sent a PS saying he forgot to mention the oysters at lunch.

Gîte.

He's welcome to those, AFAIC.....

So we're limited to Cage, then. Bugger.

Beer as always is Johnny Foreigner Yellow Fizzy Muck. Not at all that on which An Empire was built. Seems to have the desired effect though. The Red Falling Over Juice turns your teeth pink but is only E2 per litre and has the same effect. Champers ditto but I dislike this Symbol Of Rampant Wealth. We could tell you how good the cycling is here but you will not believe us.

Please report on their respective performances tomorrow.

Shall we award points?

Pelforth Brune. Lots of places stock it., Brown as a brown thing. Though somewhat strong in alcohol.

Mais la boisson locale est le cidre. Comment est le cidre? C'est un jus de pomme doux avec un petit peu de vie, comme buvent les enfants, ou c'est un grand animal brut qui peut se faire sur la terre dans un instant?

Fortified by yesterday's oysters, and no doubt with a song in his heart, Dellzeqq has led Gordon off on a wild escapade with the intention of scoping out 100 miles of the hilly west coast before the forecast heavy rain arrives. The remaining three are not lazing around after getting up late and having a leisurely breakfast and saying how nice this is when The Headmaster is away. There has been quite a lot of planning under the watchful eye of the Grizzled Tough Old Gnarly MileMuncher left in charge. Mice seems to wear the responsibility lightly.

 

[mmmmartin]

Le cidre? C'est tres agreable. Johnny Foreigner makes good cidre. Ask Gordon.

 

[StuartG]

Gordon's Cidre? Doesn't sound right ... too many vowels, too many non-vowels ...

Le cidre normande? C'est la pisse d'une Anglaise. Le cidre de Bretagne c'est formidable et il est un produit de loin supérieur. Loin supérieur. Sans doute. Je préfère la bière, mais en Normande je bois calvados avec brio! Santé!
