Dance and Water

Nick had left me two Michael Jackson CDs, telling me that the boys were fans, so I played these on my computer last night. No sooner had the opening bars of "Thriller" started, than both boys started dancing around my study, in an intricate routine, each weaving patterns around the other with some very flashy M.J. movements. Sacha was particularly careful to integrate the less delicate ones with panache on several occasions.. I was quite enthralled, as I had never seen them dance like this. Afterwards, I seized the opportunity of showing them a clip of Marcel Marceau doing his original moon-walk.

Over supper, we decided that this had definitely been a WATER day. Swimming lesson (they are now beginning crawl movements)had  started the day, and later, we went to Beaucouzé to buy a swimming cap for Louis' school swimming lesson, and some new "swimmers" for Sacha. On our return, Papy put on the garden spray, so it was back into swimming trunks  for a dash around the garden. Lunch was fish : dorades en papillotte.

 In the afternoon, we blew up the paddling pool , so off came the tee-shirts once more :

Later in the afternoon, we made a cake (yes, of course it was a yoghourt cake as we are in France!) Washing-up apparently has its charms, long may it stay that way.

We saw little London friends Molly and Lily on Skype this evening: it was lovely to see you, girls!
