Moonday in Paradise, Jour du Grande Marche

Market Day in Lignieres, the Monday 1st in any month is the BIG market, many vendors sprawled along the winding streets and under thge cover of the 14th century open air Hall. Vendors yes but people, no. Rain you see or the threat of same kept people away and vendors closed up early to avoid the rush. A sad market day when this happens but there will be many more. We went to the tourist board to collect MC, she had come in early to go with us to the Marie (City Hall) to sort out who owns the garage next door to us asa we would like to either purchase it or rent it so we could better use our backyard sans car. We learned that it was owned by the same man who runs the little Proxi Market just across the shared alley. So we will go to him and ask someday soon. Then to the bank to deposit a small refund check from an impound account associated with our purchase of the Grande Maison du Bourge. It rained and stopped, rained and stopped. Stoped at the dentists office and sat patiently while she finished up some poor soul's mouth, we got a dual appointment for this Wednesday at 11am. Then abled down the block to buy a loaf of compagne (whole wheat) bread from the corner boulangerie and walked home. Upon our return I noticed that the neighborhood cat has torn up one of the planters I just filled with planting soil and destroyed my seeding (zuchinni seeds) of it, so I stuck 6 inch pieces of wire into it and wet it thouroghly to keep the beast from pooping in it again tonight. Guess I'll have to put some wire cover over them soon. The house is still clean from our weekends labor for the Queen and Prince so we just sat around and watched the intermittant rain and slept like cats.
