I woke up to a consistent rain. The weather had returned to an early Spring day. It was cool, overcast and raining. Life in the city gets slower on days like today. Sunday mornings are usually somewhat slow and the city does not get moving until later but with the rain it was even quieter… Read More Rainy but nice day
I decided I had put off doing my taxes for long enough so I did my taxes today. It takes a stressful burden off me which I am glad. I do not know why I get worked up over taxes as they always seem easier to do than I think they will be. TurboTax helps… Read More Must be done day
I was still in my recovery period somewhat so took a casual day. In the evening, I read to La Reserve for an Aperol Spritz. It is a fun way to kill some time and to people watch. It is at the corner of two streets near the Port Daurade so there is a lot… Read More Casual but fun Friday
After the two busy days with Pamela and Kimberly, I took a recovery day. Also, I think I was still in a food coma when I woke up after the fantastic meal at Py-r. I had a nice day reading and just enjoying some peaceful time. As active as I am, I have found that… Read More Recovery Day
I, generally, do not work to indulge in any of the Seven Deadly Sins but last night I think I committed one – Gluttony. Gluttony is the overindulgence and overconsumption of anything to the point of excess. Pamela, Kimberly and I had dinner at Py-R in Toulouse. It is a 2-Star Michelin rated restaurant in Toulouse.

The day started with me getting up and running. Not my usual run activity but I was going to miss the Run in Toulouse group as I have people visiting today and was planning to show them around and have dinner with them. I ran along the banks of the Garonne out to the Parc… Read More Fun Day
Easter Monday is a holiday for France so the city was busy but peaceful. There were people out and about but not like a work day. Most shops were closed as were all businesses. I did my usual life maintenance in the morning. I did laundry, ran the dishwasher and cleaned the apartment. This apartment… Read More Beautiful Spring Day
It was a lovely day for Easter. It was around 75 (25 Celsius) degrees and beautifully sunny. A perfect spring day for Easter. I got up fairly early and headed off to the St. Aubin’s market. I have been trying to buy olive oil from my olive purveyor but they have not had a the… Read More Easter Day
The weather has been variable since I arrived. We have had some nice days but not truly glorious spring days. Today was the first of those and hope for many more. The good news is the long range (10 day) forecast has changed and it looks like we are going to have a string of… Read More The first truly beautiful spring day since I have been here
