- 2 WALLS AND FLOWERS - murs et fleurs - Plants that have escaped from the garden and that are now growing (poussent) in the crack between the wall and the road! Nature is strange.

- CHIC OUTDOOR FURNITURE - meubles de jardin - Chic colours on the harbour (port) of Royan, but nobody there. I must admit it was a cool, windy and cloudy (venteux et nuageux) day. But I was there. (…)

- ON THE BIG WHEEL - la grande roue - Yesterday I went on the big wheel in Royan - REMEMBER?. Unfortunately (malheureusement) it wasn't good weather le temps n'était pas beau), there were big grey clouds (nuages) and wind. The wheel went round 4 times and when we got off (sommes descendus) we were cold (nous avions froid). But the views (…)

- INSECT INVASION - It was very hot and thundery (oraguex) weather this afternoon and clouds nuages) of thunder bugs arrived. .There were so many we couldn't eat outside, they were falling (tombaient) in the plates and glasses (assiettes et verres). Apparently they particularly liked the yellow colour, so with my (…)

- AT LAST ALONE - enfin seule - Ah! At last they've all gone (partis) and I can read my book! The lawn is yellow because it's so dry, but the maize is growing taller (plus haut) in the field behind. (…)
