Margaret was able to leave
today because while her train from Lille to Bordeaux isn’t running, there is a
later that is. John went to class
and found out that he is going to get paid for this teaching job over here (really there was a just a question of the amount) and we had to fend for ourselves for food with Margaret not here to cook for us. We went out into the market because it’s market day again and the town was really
busy today. I guess that it
looked less like rain than last week, also there seems to be some kind of
flower and band event that seems like some kind of veterans celebration, but we
can’t be sure of anything. I did break
down today and buy clearance yarn that was on sale and a crochet hook. I can’t help it if I feel like crocheting
because it feels like winter here!!! We
feasted on a whole bunch of leftovers, plus fries, lamb, and
stroopwaffles from
the market. The fries are available all
the time, the stroopwaffles are made fresh on market day and will be eaten
every Thursday until we come home. It
smells like a funnel cake, looks like a waffle cookie with some kind of
carmelized syrup in the middle.
