Alison, Liza, Neil, Toby and Floyd leave today. We shall miss them all and especially Floyd who has been with us, on and off, for the last month. It is probably the last tennis group this year and Jan will have to adapt to a quieter life in the kitchen. This will be good for both of us because we will eat and drink less and generally lead healthier lives. Anyway the last lunch consists of Jan's famous Coronation Chicken, with a spicy rice salad, a tomato salad, cheese and fruit to finish. Altogether a healthy meal, if only I had one helping and no wine. Hey ho.***
After a quick trip to Nîmes, for the return journey back to Blighty, Jan and I settled to read the Sunday papers, wondering what we should do for the next few months. Part of that question gets answered when Jan asks me to look at the Du Murier de Sordeille website. This is the éleveur where we bought Max. Jan is getting broody again and has been thinking for some time about our 'second child' and getting a companion for Max. The breeders have just had a litter of 10, 5 male and 5 female, and I am delegated to email and ask if they have a female available. We shall see, although it's starting to look like a foregone conclusion.

Dinner tonight was leftovers of the lamb shanks from last night. Delicious.
