I am extremely envious because such a thing has never been plotted for any of my innumerable birthdays. But I'm glad it happened for you and hope many more delightful birthdays are yet to come.Natalie d'Arbeloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757081405040926647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-27863799351388096952014-08-25T16:11:40.798+01:002014-08-25T16:11:40.798+01:00But did you get any response from Les Patrons?But did you get any response from Les Patrons?Fedorovnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-46903017145197204002014-08-25T15:40:26.743+01:002014-08-25T15:40:26.743+01:00RW (zS): On your behalf I've prosted Daniel bu...RW (zS): On your behalf I've prosted Daniel but he, being a monoglot, has responded merely with a quizzical expression.<br /><br />The Crow: You and Blonde Two appear to be on the same wavelength.<br /><br />MikeM: Gimme a break, willya? I'm a different person to different people. It makes sense to be bombastic. inflated, swollen, bloated, tumid, turgid, flatulent, stuffy and/or stilted when I'm dealing with you. With others I get more mileage out of being obsequious, truckling, red, ruddy, shamefaced, etc. Horses for courses as we say here in jolly old UK.<br /><br />Blonde Two: Look, you're a contrarian; I'd expect no less from you. Why not keep your diary free on Tuesday June 2 2015, pop over to les Tilleuls about 1300 hr, and join our argumentative lot. The place is easy to find, on the southern outskirts of St Maurice de Navacelles; only feeble conversationalists need fear the experience and I doubt you'd fail on that score.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-61513732289221803922014-08-25T10:50:34.691+01:002014-08-25T10:50:34.691+01:00Would it seem odd to say that the flies made it fo...Would it seem odd to say that the flies made it for me? <br /><br />And am I the only person here who actually did order the octopus?Blonde Twohttp://twoblondeswalking.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-30604490276129998592014-08-24T23:14:31.894+01:002014-08-24T23:14:31.894+01:00You really don't seem like the "mock-mode...You really don't seem like the "mock-modesty" type.mike Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-21668710494516008752014-08-24T17:44:47.391+01:002014-08-24T17:44:47.391+01:00"Life is uncertain," the excuse I use to..."Life is uncertain," the excuse I use to order dessert first at times, and the excuse I use today to wish you many happy returns...whenever that day arrives.<br /><br />The restaurant-themed celebration is a fun idea, especially the flies.The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-69087491531870432022014-08-24T10:40:37.281+01:002014-08-24T10:40:37.281+01:00Still a few days left to go, so I won't actual...Still a few days left to go, so I won't actually say it yet. You know how we Germanically-inclined ones are with timing. The giant <i>cheminées</i> is a new discovery for me and quite thrilling because it reminds me of the yakitori grills of western Japan. (Now a restaurant pops into my mind I would very much like to re-create.) They also had an octopus dish nobody would order. The Fly Restaurant transplanted is truly to be celebrated. The detail! Down to the menu typeface and the little plastic flies. I am smiling! Prost to Daniel for this superb idea! I'm now going to brush up on my French for your next post.
