What Say Thee?
I went "native" not long after arriving in "The Darkest Dordogne." I visited an 85 year old stroke victim yesterday (his wife needed a break). He apologised for smelling like shit, I told him not to worry as I smelt like a horses arse. And yes we were both happy, and we enjoyed each others company and we are loved. I did wax my legs and pluck my eyebrows later though. Not quite a "Dordogne Pixie" yet. Debs x
The line about the people singing with their eyes closed reminds me of the film "About a Boy"!!! Damn, i want to watch that film again.
Debs- you see! It must be so hard to be ugly, you couldn't even do it for the day!
Paula- Oh yeah, when she sings 'killing me softly'! Oh dear...
1) I believe the proper spelling is deodorant. But it's ok, as you are from the U.K. and probably spell realize as "realise".
2) I'm glad that they were able to transcend appearances and sensual matters to enter that happy place in the music and enjoy themselves. They were amongst they're own, I guess, and therefore were able to truly be themselves.
3)Clementine/Lucy are beautiful names, but I hope and pray, desperately, that she doesn't grow to vote Conservative.
well firstly I have to go shower and shave my legs!
secondly, maybe because I am from the UK Jason, the correct way is 'They were amongst their own'

First morris dancers, now folk singers. What fresh hell is this pub exactly? And how much do they pay you to work there? Because however much IT ISN'T ENOUGH.
It wouldn't happen in France. Forget the stereotype about their allergy to soap, French women do grooming as an Olympic discipline.
Foxy69: You're absolutely right. Sorry for the error.
No -- I don't think so. I have a thing about being presentable.
But, I love your verbiage and your descriptions. You are a Hogarth with words. Beautifully done. I felt like I was there and you were pulling me a pint as we tore apart the people in the place.
Can't I exude love and freedom while still showering and wearing deodorant? If I go without a shower longer than 24 hrs, I can guarantee I won't be free and loving...I'll be cranky and icky!!
Hope you are having a great weekend, but please stop wearing the velvet curtains they really don't suit you. There's an award over chez moi pour toi. I am checking my spelling in case I get picked up too. Debs x
Morris Dancers, Folk Singers? Where is this pub exactly, just so I know where to avoid? 
Jason- 'J' took the words right out of my mouth. I cannot believe you would criticise my spelling and then make a mistake of your own! Numpty.
J- I thank you for pointing out Jasons mistake!
Jaywalker- No, it isn't. But entertaining, it is.
Parisgirl- Oh, to be so chic!
Ian- what were you drinking, bitter or lager? That is a very important piece of information. Less important I suppose now that you said such a lovely thing about me. x
Colleen- Hmmmm. Maybe there is a fresher way to spiritual happiness?
Debs- Oooooh, thank you! I shall make my spelling-aware ass over there now...
Akelamalu- Right opposite one of the guardians top ten bookshops IN THE WORLD. It is a very 'interesting' village... x
Sounds a bit like a pub version of glastonbury. A load of smelly dirty people grooving to the sound of their own farts.
Jo- That is EXACTLY what is was like!
Wasn't it Morris Men the other week?!
Suburbia- yup!
Bitter, most definitely. Lager is mainly watery piss only fit for quenching the thirst on a very hot day. Loved the local beers in Norfolk when I lived there (and still indulged), mainly Norwich Castle, Adnams and Greene King. Lovely. But, a local bitter from where you are would have worked just fine. And, when it doubt, there is always draught Guinness.
What...now wait a minute, Ms. Mask! Did you spell criticize as "criticise" on purpose to further mock me, or is this a reference to the U.K.-ness I mentioned??
If you can't beat them, join them, I say!
BTW There is an award waiting for you over at my place!
Superb blog, made me chuckle. I enjoy your posts!
As for Jason, the way you talk about the UK and the US makes it sound as if the English language originated from the US and we are changing the rules... Sort it out, this lovely lady isn't using the correct spelling of 'criticise' to mock you.
Ian- okay, you passed the test. Pint of Ruddles it is for you then!
Jason- La, la, la, la, laaaaaaaa. See 'Mega's' comment above...
Maggie May- ohhh, I'll pop over now!
Mega- However I spell words it is not as if I can 'claim' them as British anyway as all our words are a mix of anglo-german and french, dammit. So if anybody wins it is them! Thank you for stopping by my love! x
Try everything once, except for folk-music and incest (Thomas Beecham). Or was it morris dancing and polygamy?
I am not ready to give up showering and I have never been one for public spittle, but singing as loud as you can in a pub? Sign me up!
Ok.
Robin- what shall we begin with? An Oasis number?
Jason- Yay! Let me know how it goes.
I guess happy is what it's all about anyway...I once dressed to the nines to go grocery shopping, but now jeans and a tee and worn running shoes...it's good enough for Mac, it's good enough for any blighters I might run into in Food Lion...and at least I'm clean, lol!
Sandi

congrats on the mention from David
