Only 1 C here this morning, and getting colder.   Oh well... back on the rollercoaster. Morning, dugh, Mum, and Thistle.  

Currently 74/23° with lovely Carolina blue skies and a light breeze. Took mum out for breakfast, it's a Tuesday morning habit. When we got home Thistle and I went for an hour long walk through part of the neighborhood. Then we did some weeding until lunchtime. After a bit of relaxing mum has gone back out to do some additional cleanup. Thistle and I are in our room with the windows open resting. The drawback to working outside in that lovely sunshine is after a while it triggers a migraine. If I relax the remainder of the day it is likely to ease enough that I can enjoy the spring weather forecast for tomorrow. Blessed be my brothers and sisters.

Hmmm a Garycake! I wonder what does it taste like  surely sweet

Most assuredly, it's the maple syrup. Now if it had been a bobbercake it would still be sweet but only half-baked.

I thought you said it was cold. Those are green trees in the background. Yeah, yeah, I know none of y'all got past the bare chest to notice the foliage.

Cheese fondue is not French, it's Swiss.

All your talk about food caused me to end up at an article describing a man's experience in France. He ordered "doux oeufs le plat", thinking he'd receive two fried eggs--he received six. Apparently, because "oeufs" is plural, that was interpreted as an order of four eggs And In this particular establishment, a plate of eggs is customarily served with one extra, bringing the total up to six. The waitress was greatly offended at the poor American tourist who couldn't remember what he'd ordered.

Yes, it started out in Switzerland, but it's become a gray area nowadays. In France, I believe it's called a Raclette, like the cheese.

I went shopping... it was nice out... cool wind, but sunny.   I bought snazzy, waterproof, camo, winter hiking boots.  I can keep up with Cookie now.

I've had crepes and omelettes at Patisserie Amie, downtown. They're eggstraordinary.
