Yay, it's Fish Friday...🙄

So the picky bits/nibbles wasn't quite as described to us...😃 Onion soup starter Legume cake.....nah me neither but it was good. Huge Wok with Beef casseroly thingy...everything but the kitchen sink in it! Cheese board and finally a Pear in pastry dessert Plus Sparkling, Rose and Red wine ....absolutely stuffed after eating a Plat du Jour lunch time...Burger, frites and salad. Tonight's is now a Pizza

Picky bits and nibbles tomorrow night at our French neighbours

Same 'ol, same 'ol...

Fridge raided for the healthier stuff to offset last nights....

Oh well, a not so healthy Tea tonight 😃

Brittany Ferries offerings ended up as Salad Nicoise....I thought it was normally with Tuna not Chicken? Tonight's Fish Friday was Crevettes and Salad... The Cats were happy being chosen first 😃

Minimalist tonight... Venison burgers on Wholemeal Buns and a splat of BBQ sauce. Tomorrow's will probably something that Brittany Ferries can muster at lunch time and tea will be snacks IF the shops are open as we arrive at 'le Chateau'..

Technically last nights......Pulled Pork, Salad, Cheesy Buns. running down the fridge and freezer as we're returning to check on the Cats and Pigs and hopefully eat some healthier foods 🤔 Salad Cream was added before scoffing... Tonight's was a proper mad mix.... ½ baked tatties...as in cooked but not crunchy skins Venison bangers Macaroni Cheesy bread crumby patties Sweet Chilli sauce and Mayo

Raided Kev for one of his Chickens again....

NO Fish Friday...yay! Mushroom Risotto.

No time to eat before tonight's ride so walk through the door, OH out for the night....this is all I could muster up....Aldi's finest Beef trimmings, Horseradish sauce 😃

Something a tad more conventional tonight....

'twas a good Fish Friday for a change....beer, bread and fish fingers 😋

New one for me......Venison burger 😋 Caramelised Hot X Buns later swilled down with a local micro-brewery ale 🍺

Still plenty of SUVs and cars with high'ish lights over there....

More likely dealers doing a half-arsed PDI in UK......in France I've hardly ever been dazzled as over here

Glad you said dis course....😁

Today's will be early.....prepped and ready to go. Traditional Easter eats...Lasagne, side Salad, Roasties in Goose Fat and Garlic Bread.

Tonight's snack is..... No matching glass for the Beer unfortunately

Usual Fish Friday.....Smoked Haddock, busted eggs which I usually end up with and my favourite eats..crusty bread🧛‍♀️ I'm sure I'll be raiding the larder later 😉

Definitely had better times... Still here though as said, OH had strong thoughts on selling up, calmed down though. We have good French and English neighbours who have helped with the Police and shopping etc and had a visit from someone in the village we don't know to check on us....tom tom drums doing their thing.... This is a proper sleepy rural area and everyone is shocked by it.

A brief resume of this week's issues as I've hinted at in other threads..... 2 French car (turned out to be White vans)tailgating me at 12.30 in morning, leaving for ferry, show him the brake lights, car chase, get stopped by them in Vaas, physco bloke lamps me after 10mins of hyper actions (cannabis tattoos), police called, 2 tyres get knifed by 2 others who turn up, car taken away on wrecker, Le Lude police for papers and report of assault,doctors for medical report.. ferry booked for Thursday evening - car now back. Basically an Insurance scam gone slightly wrong for them and us. Car is just metal, us not so, OH is okay just shook up....me, better now, just bruising

When you don't have a lot left.....

Having to pay 360€ for 2 new Dunlop tyres, 1 other rotated, here in France, Goodyear Vectors were on all 4 corners, 2 slashed. They're not even the equivalent of the Vectors and they put the new ones on the front just to top it off....I can at least get home now.
