My conversational French?

Bordeaux, July 25, 2018

I just came back from shopping for dinner.

My conversational French is this: 

Bonjour! = Good day!

Bonne journée! = Have a good day!

Bonsoir! Good evening. 

Un = one (ooon)

Deux = two (dew)

Battery = Battery (with a French accent, says the guy at the camera store. I had to ask.)

Cul de sac = because I live on one.

And what I perceive as a jibberish question with the Trump’s name in it, to which I always answer Non (no), to which I get a big smile and a pat on the back. 100% so far.

June 26, 2018: To Bee or not to Bee?

“To Bee!“ to paraphrase a line spoken by the great Austrian and Trump needler Arnold Schwarzenegger. So, there’s an artist in Dublin who goes by the catchy moniker Buzzy Be. http://thecircular.org/street-art-in-dublin-follow-the-bees/

His work lives just down the street across from a Starbucks. About a block from where we are staying.

For a moment, The Fresno Bee’s Scoopy thought he could get in on that action, but I thought I‘d get arrested for busking without a license. Save the Bees! No really, save the Bees. @buzzy.be

It’s Monday in Ireland and the papers (yes, they still exist) are crying about how hot it’s going to be today. It might reach 80 degrees! Doesn’t Santa make deliveries in weather like this?
