I went to lunch at Reflets for lunch. It has become one of my preferred restaurants in Toulouse. I have made reservations for dinner on my last night in Toulouse there. Most restaurants are not open on Monday but Reflets is so it worked out great for me as I can have dinner at a… Read More Another nice day
I was a little lazy today. I read books which is always good for me. I did do a little laundry which broke my cycle but I did a load of my Merino shirts and pants. I figured I would do them on Saturday as I have to lay them flat to dry and could… Read More Regular Saturday
