Thursday

This morning, I witnessed Louis giving his assailant the brush-off  as he strolled over to the ping-pong table to talk to some other children. The said assailant went and hid his face in his mother's skirt.  I don't know if the ( very nice)  mother has been told about The Incident - she was talking to someone, so  luckily I didn't have to speak to her. I'll leave this to the teacher. We'll think about Christian forgiveness later. Perhaps.

Today, the children won't be staying to school lunch : they have been invited to lunch with Hugo and Adrien. Sacha was quite anxious about how he would tell the teacher (already warned,) that he wouldn't be eating at school, so this morning,  with his teacher, he practiced replying to the daily question of "Est-ce que tu manges à l'école?"  with "Non, je ne mange pas."  (Which of course he was perfectly capable of doing anyway.)

In response to popular request, HERE IS THE CAKE. Those silicone moulds are great, except for the first use. This was the first use, so the cake suffered a little in the unmoulding process. But it tasted fine.
