OLYMPIC SOB

As the Olympics draw to their end,  this DesperateAngloHousewife is wondering where her next wee buzz will be coming from.... I know I should be having a good old rant about sportsmanship, international cooperation and team spirit but instead I am going to be completely honest. ...All those bodies beautiful! Am I the only 40-something who has been blowing bubbles into her Chardonnay during the  men's diving?  Was I the only creature on the planet who was reaching for the smelling salts as the men swimmers came out announced and pranced across to their starting block whilst unzipping their sweatshirts to reveal not just the most heavenly of six packs but also shoulders to  weep over? Of course one can wax lyric over the grace of the pole vaulting, the panther speed of Mr Bolt, the incredible concentration of the archers, the tenacity of the walkers...

THE GRACIOUS ART OF MEDITATION

WORLD CUP WIN oh yeah There is a certain magic when a country wins a cup, a world cup.  The last time I experienced a win my daughter Colombe was bouncing on my tummy kicking at me waiting to be born. She will be twenty in December and it only feels like yesterday she was begging to be born in the wake of a national win in the world cup. We felt the French economy bend and grow with confidence, we felt the people reach out and grab the international, we felt real understanding on an international level. There was also an amazing sense of "community" within France where different racial groups were applauded rather than condemned. Let’s hope history repeats and expands upon itself. I love this country I call my home, FRANCE,  I so hope it can grow and benefit….your opinion??? Creme B rulee    non?? double cream, approx 350 ml ( in France I use the thickest whipping cream I can find) 100ml full-fat  milk ...
