Cela me fait un grand plaisir !

Merci de passer le bonjour à tout le monde de ma part dans le groupe du livre des visages...

Many thanks for reposting this!

This is - IMHO - a rather excellent article.

Honeybee the tabby cat is missing in western Loudoun County Virginia.

Western Loudoun county (VA)
Honeybee escaped at House Paws in Lovettsville. Once she calms down she will come to anyone, esp for food. Please keep eye open for her. Pink collar and chipped.

If you find her or see her reply here or message me. I will contact her family.

Have you taken up writing in The Grauniad as part of your retirement hobbies?

Want it finished before I go back to work next week!

The key thing now is to do the sanding during the week (there are laws about using electrical equipment on a Sunday, for example).

Second coat applied.

This was the critical side to do first, faces SW, so gets all the rain.

Will do the other sides in a couple of days.

Qqch que j'ai commencé à faire lors des confinements, afin de garder mon niveau de français (on ne parle qu'en anglais à la maison).

Exactement !

As part of my job, I spend some time doing 'admin' and 'legal(ish)' translations. Letters, cahier des charges. That sort of stuff. Where it needs to be 'right' in context, and not just a standard translation. Stuff that is 'sensitive' if it's not phrased right.

Fiche Petalert de Rover

Les amis, à l’aide.
Ce matin, Rover @ROVERduMOULIN a pris peur au passage d’une montgolfière très basse et s’est sauvé…
Nous le cherchons partout …
Mairie et gendarmerie de l’Île Bouchard prévenues.
Mais tout coup de main est bienvenu, ne serait-ce qu’un retweet…

Je pars pour un endroit où le soleil rayonne
À travers la pluie diluvienne,
Là où le temps convient à mes vêtements.

Tournant avec les vents du nord-est,
Voguant sur un mistral estival
Et ricochant à travers l'océan comme une pierre."

Je n'entends pas quoi que ce soit
Que les échos dans mon esprit

Les gens s'arrêtent, me fixent
Je vois même pas leurs visages
Que les ombres de leurs yeux

In Feb there was a question about whether Europe “would have a seat at the table.” Yesterday's meets show that Europe actually has many seats at the table. That fundamentally changes the nature of this negotiation. A credit to European leaders for cracking the code that works with Trump

On 19 August 1942, over 6,050 infantry set foot on Dieppe beach with high hopes. Unfortunately, none of the objectives set were met, and a total of 4800 soldiers were either killed, wounded, or captured, with over 900 deaths among the Canadians alone. We remember them today and always. #LestWeForget

Congratulations to both of you!

'looping' is a reversal indicator.

You have the 'N' from Niece

Reverse 'race' you get 'car'

Add 'N' then the 'e' from 'race'

Then add (and reverse) 'lots'

You get 'stolen'

A 'stolen car' is a 'hot wheels' (the definition clue)

*cough*

"lots"

* chutes = chutney

I would agree with the good father's pronunciation.

I make a rather good greengages* coulis.

I haven't got as far as making chutes.

*we have a greengages tree in the garden
