Mercedes 550SL, enough to arouse a woman?

December 30, 2010

What do you think is the best mechanical device to arouse a woman? Having considered that question I think the answer could be a Mercedes 550SL convertible. Given the current weather, I was thinking of arousal as I needed something to brighten up that nice lady decorator as once again yesterday morning we awoke to grey miserable English style weather. I am thinking of sueing Peter Maille as he never told us the weather could be like this here.

So to brighten up the day, my picture today is of some flowers in a garden I took recently.

Images of a better time, weather wise

As luck would have it, just as we were complaining again about the weather, we discovered some old friends, one of whom spent a large part of his career at Yorkshire TV overseeing the likes of Coronation Street and Emmerdale Farm, were skiing at La Rosiere in the Alps, and they had a spare bedroom.

Suffice to say that within the hour we were packed up and on our way.
This means that we have had to make our excuses to several devastated hosts of events on the holiday events schedule (that I never see), which meant it was the job of that nice lady decorator, the arbiter of which social occasion to attend, to withdraw our acceptance of various invitations, including one yesterday afternoon to afternoon tea at the residence of Mr Humphreys (he was free). That means I still do not know where he lives.

Disappointed hosts litter the cote d’azur, but if the authorities can’t get the weather right then our appearances at these most glittering events cannot be guaranteed. Apart from the prospect of skiing, the whole ski experience and for me that means a few not very testing runs before lunch with a stop for a bombardino (an Italian frothy coffee with some local liqueur) and then a much more testing event, lunch, at one of the mountain restaurants, followed by a siesta before apres ski festivities.

There are other upsides as well, often our departure from Valbonne for a few days means prison in the form of a dog sitter for Banjo, the festering flatulent flea infested fool. However on this occasion he has managed to get away with it as we have (perhaps unwisely) entrusted our house and dog sitting duties to our children due to the impulsive acceptance of the skiing invite. They (our children) were read the riot act by that nice lady decorator who has instructed that there will be no friends to stay and no parties after last time, and I expect them to keep their promise, at least until last night. What they perhaps do not know is that she has asked all our neighbours and friends to be alert to the slightest sound or indication of a party being staged, and it is in my opinion impossible that they would be able to have a party without that nice lady decorator getting wind of it, and if she does, well they say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and I have seen that particular version of hell on several occasions and it is not pretty.
