Watching Star Wars Episode 1 - Phantom Menace tonight with a hot cup of Earl Grey tea. I love the smell of bergamot and the warmth and the roundness of the brown earthenware cup in my hands.
It's a chilly night and I'm glad to be inside, unlike the four sangliers, or wild boars, R and I spotted tonight while driving home. At 19h R had picked me up from auto école where I had watched videos on les regles de circulation, priorité, signalisation and gas/mileage conservation (by knowing how to control your manual transmission car). Around 19:10h, we were just about home when we spotted a dark shape running down the hill towards us—as we often see animals on these dark country roads—we thought maybe a small deer or two.
To our delight, it was a group of sangliers who trampled down the hill, then crossed the road in front of us. They were headed towards a small opening in a thicket of woods by the roadside. We got a good long look at three of them because the first one made it through but the last three got stuck trying to crowd into the small crawl space. After a minute or two, the three adjusted their plan, backed up, and then successfully made it in single file.
Oh yes, I also got my first French haircut this weekend. I got a good four inches chopped off. Now the longest part just grazes my shoulders and I look a little like my twelve year old self!
Could you eat the wild boar? hehe... Have a luau?
ReplyDeleteHi Shu Dan! Yes, I could have eaten the wild boars if I had been able to spear them. But I left my spear at home..and to be honest, they are so strong and stocky fellows. I could maybe handle the babies but definitely not the ones who were coming down the road :)
