Maintenant on parle

Not sure that works in French but a Sunday stroll to the market on the banks of the Saône resulted in a nice pair of earrings for Cath and this beauty of a book for me.

I’ve been looking for something like it for a while and here it was for an absolute bargain.

J’aime bien le nom de cet oiseaux – il s’appelle hawfinch en Anglais

One of the herons that escaped me in the Camargue

And this one is only en Camargue – where I saw it – and près de Lyon!

And I found these timbres inside – making it even more of a bargain!

Enfin, à la piscine

So it was finally time to don the obligatory tiny trunks and go for a swim in Lyon.

These should be small enough for French rules

I booked two tickets to the temporary summer outdoor pool in Parc de la Tete d’Or which is erected for two months in the velodrome. So it was a return to the site of Cameron Norrie’s ATP win but this time for a swim.

When we got there it turned out to be more of a giant paddling pool. Very shallow the whole length of it and with people playing all across it. I managed five lengths.
