Happy housewife - ur vaouez a-feson on!
I am the perfect housewife. Or, at least, so I was yesterday.
At the moment I am staying at Gwenole's, in Auray, for a week. And every morning, when he goes out for work, I stay at home alone. Like a real housewife. So yesterday I went out homeshopping at the market (the market of Auray is GREAT! also for funshopping...), I cleaned the living room, did the washing-up and had even thought of something to eat when Gwenole came home, tired and hungry, around six o'clock. I felt very perfect.
Auray feels very good to me, as a place to live. Today, instead of housewiving along (I should really do something about the bathroom, it's a mess...) I went out for a long walk, as it is such a happy sunny day! I went to st. Goustan, the medieval port of Auray. In the old town centre, everything is medieval, sunny and full of flowers. And nice shops...I gave myself permission to buy a new pair of trousers (but I lost two this year, so it's not so bad) in a organic fair-trade shop. So now I have a pair of wine-red trousers in organic cotton, from Nepal! I am very happy with this purchase, they fit perfectly ,which is a rare thing for trousers.
The rest of my time I spent watching the bay of the Loc'h, sniffing up fresh salty air, and strolling on the old city walls watching the medieval houses and people having lunch on the terasses beneath.
And in some hours Gwenole will come home...I am already looking forward to it. He really is very dear to me, and time spent with him is so precious!
Yesterday we went out for dinner in Vannes, but tonight I am going to cook for him. That is what I do for people that are dear for me: I prepare food for them. It will be pasta with a lot of veggies, and a salad with goat's cheese. And I bought strawberries for dessert!
This week is my last one in Brittany, but probably it is my best one. It already started well, in Kastell Gwenn, with my friends over there. We even went to the beach last Friday, as it was 25 degrees. A small rocky beach in Carnac..I love rocky beaches, walking on the stones and looking into the little pools between. As it is the bay of Quiberon, a *real* bay, the water was full of colourfull life: seaweeds, mussels, shells of all kinds..And the sea was of a wonderfull green-blue colour. Glas-glas. For the rest we did nothing special at Kastell Gwenn: we ate a lot, watched a film with the neighbours, talked and laughed. When on Saturday Gwenole arrived, we made a long walk in the nearby forest and the fields.
Love, nature, sunshine, and even new trousers.
What more could I wish for?
Maybe I should go now, and clean the bathroom.

Ps: Martine, you excused yourself for your crappy English. I am not so sure mine is better: I think in Breton at the moment. So you're forgiven ;-)
