Accidents, inapproriate utterances and regurgitation

Well, after all the sheepish shenanigans of yesterday, I have decided to impose a sheep hiatus for today at least, and have a picture which I think sums this up admirably, which is shown below.

I think Steve Weston should seriously consider therapy, in the meantime Steve, please, for your own good, print copies of this and distribute them throughout your house

Lunch yesterday turned into an impromptu gathering which seriously depleted my rose stocks, which had been replenished courtesy of Currencies Direct awarding me a case of wine. This was because of my success in persuading you lovely people who move currency around, or, like me get paid in pounds and live in euros, to stop rewarding their banks for giving them a crap exchange rate and to open an account with Currencies Direct.

Present at this select gathering were Paul and Lisa Thornton Allen, Lucy from red radish and Wayne from FR2day who looked like he had escaped from rehab, so well did he look. It seems he has discovered health foods. His usual diet of whelks, eel pie and mash,typical of his east end roots, has been replaced by things like lentil surprise and cranberry juice! I give it two weeks maximum before he reverts to type.

I like spontaneous events and this one developed around midday in a little over an hour and continued into the mid evening on what was probably the hottest day of the year so far. Once again, I awoke this morning to find the someone had dumped loads of empty bottles in my garden. If I even find out who it is then that person can expect a severe thrashing.

It was so warm that even I had to have a dip, water 27 degrees; this information only intended for readers in drizzly and cold UK. My house is still available to rent this week!

I see Gerald Gomis at Super U in the morning, but luckily he had not yet managed to read yesterdays blog so was happy to chat.

More clearly unsubstantiated stories emerge of particularly poor behaviour at Mr Thornton Allen’s celebrations to acknowledge the start of his 7th decade recently. It seems as if car crashes (yes, in the plural) in the garden, copious and far from private regurgitation of some of the splendid food, and I suspect the wine, plus inappropriate comments uttered far from quietly may well be linked to a certain well-respected Valbonne estate agent. Far be it from me to reveal details of this rumoured miscreant, because that’s all they are, stories. Personally I refuse to give credence to such rumours and tittle-tattle, I would certainly never discuss them openly in this column, dedicated as it to reporting as truthfully as I choose, a personal view of the life of the idle rich in Valbonne.

Finally at around 10pm, having collecting up that nice lady decorator, who replete with rose decided to end a deep conversation (which neither will remember) with Lisa Thornton Allan, by going to sleep mid sentence, the evening came to rather a rather quiet conclusion.

Conclusion however is a big word. It implies I believe the ending of a phase or the finalising of a decision, however this particular conclusion seems to have achieved neither!

Today I must take up my quill and resume the massive job of contributing material to ensure that Blue Water Yachting remain at the top of the Google search pages. Being an ignoramus when it comes to all things yachting when I began this mission about 6 weeks ago, I thought the word nautical meant to shout out something naughty, but I am now a renowned expert in the field, in my own mind in any case. For instance, when it comes to serving sherry, I now know what a schooner is but not sure yet how the measure differs when serving a ketch.
