The flocks of sheep in both the Alps and the Pyrénées are often covered with various colors of dye to be able to tell them apart in case they mix with another flock.

hi again, nikki,

I so enjoyed your report.

I hope your husband has forgiven me for recommending such an inaccessible hotel.

if it's any comfort, when we left it we couldn't get a cab to get to the station to pick up our hire car, so we had to walk all the way there, past some rather dodgy looking folks and shops, dragging our suitcase behind us.

then we couldn't negotiate the exit to the car park and almost pranged the car.

does that help?

regards, Ann

Thanks for your report, Nikki - brings back memories of our (already too distant-seeming) summer holiday

"My bags decided to stay an extra day in Amsterdam"

I wonder why?

Nice report - I've been keeping a look out so I could read the entire report in one sitting - a wonderful way to spend a Sunday evening.

Alya, in this part of town it's still Saturday evening.

Ann, I haven't told my husband the hotel was anybody's idea but my own, and for that matter I haven't told him I had any other choices. So I think we're both safe.

Nikki,

I've only just figured out that it's September

I missed my bookclub meeting last week because I thought that Thursday was Wednesday. Got home on Thursday checked my mail and realised I was 2 hours late - I did call and apologise.

In July I turned up a day late because they changed the day from Thursday to Wednesday.

Too blonde(ish) sometimes
