Monsieur Hulot goes home
I was checking through YouTube for Monsieur Hulot stuff. There doesn’t seem to be much but I did find this one…for some reason it reminds me of an Escher picture. Oh, and Jaques Tati reminds me of Eric Morecombe…..he seems to be haunting me at the moment!
I hope you enjoy the clip…wouldn’t want to attempt what he’s doing after an evening of vine-rescuing!

Grubbing up the vineyards…
This article is a bit sad really, from the International Herald Tribune. Thanks for sending it Pete!
There’s only one thing for it….drink more Bordeaux wine!
Chin-chin!

French Unions Wage War on Words
Unfortunately, as America continues to dominate the market place, the IT industries and development, I would guess that M. Myard and his Trade Union colleagues are trying desperately to hold back the tide…with no hope of success.
I wonder how this will impact on bilingual children and their future in the French/Global market place? It must look promising…surely?

Happy Birthday Observations
I remember reading somewhere that ‘Happy Birthday’ is the most commonly sung song ever, probably a Trivial Pursuit thing.
I now think that ‘Happy Birthday’, (in all its variants) must be the most commonly used search term on the internet. Since writing my ‘Happy Birthday to me’ entry on 25th January, the Beauregard The Blog readership has gone through the roof.
Is it because people are interested in my insights and observations on moving to and living in France? Are people looking forward to my next funny YouTube clip or Newsbiscuit article? No! It would appear people are searching for all things ‘Happy Birthday’ connected. I am getting so many hits, day after day, related to this one article. Not that I mind, you understand! It’s good to have readers and lots of them. Some of them may become regular readers and RSS subscribers…. But it has rather taken me by surprise! And it doesn’t appear to be abating either…
So next time it gets a bit lonely here at Beauregard The Blog….I might just write about another birthday!!
Oh, and Happy Birthday to all those people who find their way here!!

Pink Turin Shroud
I just had to share this with you…..did tickle me!
Diddy has to wear white socks as part of her school uniform. I say white, after a few washes in my house, they are never anything like white….I never knew there were so many shades of grey! So I could empathise with poor Rosa-Maria Delarosa….it would have happened to me too!

Off to France…
It’s half-term again next week….doesn’t it come around quickly?
This time I am off to France for a few days. Ryanair flight £20 going out and 1p coming back….not bad! This will, in theory, be my last ‘holiday’ trip, the next one will be the real McCoy!
There are all sorts of things to discuss and without the children around, it may even be possible. I’m quite looking forward to it now.
Plum is going too and we overlap for a few days. It looks as if we are in the Cottage with the new wood-burning stove. The old wood-burning stove had, in a previous life, been employed as a smoker of kippers, somewhere near Arbroath. So the new one, hopefully, promises to produce more heat and less smoke!

Not Ryanair again!
The next time you have a panic attack and guilt complex about even thinking of using Ryanair, have a read of this article. It, well, attempts to put things into perspective.
