adventures of an american housewife in the south of france

Sunny Time Bed Beard

Happy Friday, friends!  Just a quick post today.  I've been so lazy all day and all of the sudden it's 5:00pm and I have a lot to do to get ready for the weekend.  Remember a few weeks ago when I told you that the heat is "not that bad"?  Well, scratch that.  It's effing hot here.  Tuesday and Wednesday were almost unbearable in the apartment and I attribute that to my lack of productivity and laziness.

The heat also makes it hard to sleep at night.  It's no question that we have to sleep with the windows open, but the French have something against window screens (kinda like San Francisco) so The Hub and I have been waking up covered in bug bites.  Some in very uncomfortable places if you know what I mean.  I went to the store today to buy some sort of bug repellent plug in that you can use at night, so we'll see if that helps this weekend.  I sure hope so.

There is one little buddy in this apartment who does not mind the sun.  Figgy's been sitting out on the balcony every chance he gets.

who me?

even inside I like the sun

All this sitting out in the hot sun and heat make Figgy very sleepy.  Which makes for some hilarious Bed Beards.  He looks like such an old man in this picture - I just can't stop laughing when I look at it!

We're going to try to stay cool this weekend by taking a trip either to the river or the beach, and drinking lots of rosé, evidemment.

Bon weekend, mes amis!

    Sounds like another business opportunity for you two. Mooks’ taco cart and window screens – I can see it now!
