Fishy

Had a barbecue last night. It was lovely. We had fish. Dorades in French, don't know the name in English. Should look it up but I am lazy. I think it is something similar. Here they are anyway:

Miss Sunshine was ill, but could help her father barbecue. You know, barbecuing is a serious business. Don't disturb the ones who are in charge - they might give you the evil eye...

Miss Sunshine, far away from her normal "sunshiny" self.
Well, high fever can break anyone down.


Finally the fish were ready. Four huge ones for five persons. Perfect! A nice white wine to that and an extremely tasty Terrine de chocolat truffée à la fraise for dessert. Can it be better???

We are now preparing for leaving France and heading north to Malmö and Sweden. The weather is outstanding, both here in France and in Malmö. Summer already in May? Hmm, there's something fishy going on. Climate change big time. But, hey, after a long, dreadful autumn and winter, the Swedes are worth it. We, howevere, have been in Spain and have had nice weather most of the time, so we can't complain. Anyway, we are leaving tonight if not Miss Sunshine's fever rises. If so, we have to wait til tomorrow. But on Saturday we have to be in Sweden, because we have the wine for the party we are invited to....
