Douzième Jour

I think you must need to grow up here to become accustomed to the huge amounts of wine and cheese consumed.
I don't think I am going to be doing any skiing today..

Last night we went over to a friends house, they all went to school together some how, and have a great many stories to share. I think I should be glad that as the night went on they talked a little too fast for me, and I didn't understand. Everyone was very funny.. they all knew about the Canadian ice hockey game, and how we lost.. and kept giving me pats on the back.. unfortunatly I didn't even understand this. I havn't been keeping up with what is happening at the olympics, ecspecially not with hockey.

We started with some really strong red wine, and then some more, and then some white wine then some champagne.. The champagne is much better then my accustomed baby duck.. but still mkaes me feel the same in the morning. I was trying to prevent this, by saying "seulment un gout" only a taste... they replied by filling my glass to the rim.

I did make apple crisp.. but the kids found it on the table before we got to it, and they ate it. I was thinking when I was making it that I wouldn't get much of it.. so Emma and I made two . We ate one at our house, and brought the other to share.

Over the weekend we watched some jumpers, boarders and skiiers. Most of them were pretty good.. getting in some double twists, and a few back flips. I however was more entertained by the music. Most of the raido music is in English, and usually from a few years back. When a popular song comes on lots of the younger people would sing to them. Or try to at least. The best song was "the roof is on fire" Everyone had the hand actionhs going on.. but the singing was just not there. Everyone was competing to be the loudest. the loudest at groaning or screeching.. or I'm not sure. .. but it was funny. The chorus of the song is very well articulated. Its not difficult.. but somehow they all got an extra dozen sylables in there. I willde finatly bring my camera next time to record it.
