Cheese, chocolate and bathers.

1. Brie that is exactly the right sort of ripeness. I don't know how you like it, but I like it so the outside is bloomy and the inside not sticky but still has a bit of bounce.

2. Dime bars have changed their name: they are now Daim, so we can be just like people in Europe. It's sad in a way, but they are still crunchy butterscotch covered in particularly nice chocolate, so not that sad.

3. Buying bathers: what a nightmare. There is so much that can go wrong, and I usually end up paying more than I meant for something in turquoise and mauve that I hope will rot and fall apart quickly. Today, however, I found a sale at the leisure centre and bought two. One is iffy (magenta and black and too revealing for Zanzibar), but the other is dark blue with flattering stitching and a neat 1950s belt. Very chic.

  1. too revealing for Zanzibar?

    4. As a guy, thinking about bathing suits that are too revealing. (well, I'm not from France where the beaches are even more revealing)

  3. Joe! And I thought you were a respectable family man :-)

    Tristan, there will be stacks of pictures -- I will publish an elegant selection when I get back. Although I don't have your eye for colour -- my photos never look like what I actually saw.
