Haven't really been anywhere today. Well, I went on a nearly-two-hour bike ride up and down the old railway track and on some Rough Tracks through vineyards, waved at a few vineyardy type people on tiny tractors and saw a lot of sunflowers and flowers and that, and then found myself on a 2km-long very long incline in an oncoming wind. Got home, fell off the red bicycle and lay on the lawn panting while the dogs licked the sweat from my face, but otherwise I've just watched 'A Place In The Country' on telly and read emails and that. Oh, and had bean soup and raspberry yoghurt with a few seeds and nuts in for lunch, and an oatcake with cheese on.
It's raining now. Still, the words that I find funnier in French than in English are still good. In a way. If you want to feel the full benefit, imagine you're Charles de Gaulle making a speech from the top of something big:
Poney Club (Pone-eh klooob) Pony club.
Prix Choc (Preee shok) Surprisingly low prices.
Hard Discount (ahrd dees-koont) Surprisingly low prices, in a pikey kind of a way
Le Weekend (luh week-ende) The weekend.
Come to think of it my mother's shopping list was good:
Pork
Grillons
Melons
Red onions
Broccoli
Apples
Water
Goats' cheese
Membership of Alzheimer's Society for your father
New daughter
I added 'cock ring' and she sighed, because I always write 'cock ring' or 'gimp mask' on her shopping list, and I always laugh hysterically at my own sensationally sophisticated sense of humour, like I'm the lovechild of Lenny Bruce and Victoria Wood making the best joke in the word EVER for the first time.
Sigh.

I hope the appreciate you. Not everyone has a daughter mindful enough to write "cock ring" on a list for them. What if she really needed one? there it would be on the list for her. You're doing them a big favor (or is it "favour" over there?)
How about "Prix stickés" ? "Maisoning" ? "Raive par-tea" ? "un Happy End" ? The list is endless.
Maritza - I am leaving my mother to reply to your comment. I think it's only right. xx
Johnnyboy, stop a) showing off; b) trying to be funnier than me. 63 year old wee-smelling old American man that you are.
there is something inherantly amusing about a cock ring.
