Pre-birthday party
The lady I lodged with had a birthday last week and she hadher party late so that I could join in with her!! It was a lovely surprize! We had a Raclette - That’s a guess at the spelling. Each person has a little shovel type thing and you put cheese on it, maybe meat if you like that sort of thing, and then put it under this hot plate thing. You then can pour the bubbly melty cheese on your potatoes. Sort of like a bake potato with cheese but with a whole lot more fuss. Very nice!
Can you make it out? It’s also worth noting that during the meal that lasted about 2.5hrs we used 4 different glasses!!
Candle blowing in full action mode…
I had complained recently that I had no teddy and no boyfriend to buy me one…so Miriam and Jean-Aime thoughtfully gave me little Norbert. 
Oh, PS! After careful consideration I have decided that my little banger is indeed a little Fifi! The prize of having the joy of knowing you named a 16yr old French Citroen goes to Ian!
