03/10/2017 Grey skies and rain so few photos as at French scrabble this afternoon.

Maximum temperature 20C,  minimum 12C.  11 km/h NE wind with 23 km/h gusts. 3 mm of rain measured this morning.
Day three of the rose in the garden!


Driving to scrabble - the trees in our garden are dropping their leaves but it does not look like autumn/fall here!


A drive by view across the fields.  The small white dot on the right in the distance is the resistance memorial


Scrabble today was at St Adjutory.....


The tabac still closed for the long French lunch break!


Scrabble, Nigel must have found a fabulous word by the smile on his face!  The lady in the centre is French and comes up with some great words, hard to compete with but they are always happy to help.


I had dreadful tiles today and had to keep asking for help :-((

  2. I love Scrabble, Diane. I play Scrabble with my family and friends for a lot of years. And beautiful photos, my friend. The first one, with the rose and the drops on it, is absolutely amazing!

    1. Many thanks Mia but I bet you do not play scrabble in a language that you do not understand much. French for me is very difficult!! Take care Diane

  4. Wow, the rose is now in its prime! I'm smiling at your Scrabble game because of have memories of trying to improve my Spanish (and hubby his English) through word games.

    1. I really do not find it helps my French at all, most of the words I use I do not know what they mean in English!!! I play around with the letters until they look like something possible, then look it up (everyone uses dictionaries even the French) the French scrabble dictionary does not give meanings so it is pretty pointless from the point of view of learning!! I need a magic wand as languages is not my best subject!! Have a good day Diane

  11. Hi Diane. We are having similar weather in Durban today, grey skies and rain, after a hot day yesterday and terrific storm last night. We have had so much rain this Spring so far, that my roses are ruined. The buds rot before they open. Yours look fresh and beautiful though. I still have my parents scrabble set but rarely play as no one in my family likes playing anymore. My sons liked playing as children but now they say that board games are boring. I don't agree. Kim
