Kitty Chat

Well, today I start back my French lessons at Greta in Pontivy.As usual in things like this, I screwed up the times I am supposed to be there and arrived a whopping 3 ½ hours early. So now I must find something to do with my time until 1.30 this afternoon.

I walked down to Le Grand Café and, lo and behold, they have put their terrasse out. This is like one of my most favourite things, sit on the terrasse, have a petite crème and write something for Kittychat. It makes me happy, it’s so French.

I have my view of the horse chestnuts trees in bloom which encircle the Place Briard. Directly across is Le Cul-de-poule Creperie Restaurant Breton (Service Rapide et Continu), then Laverie Napoleonville (lavez votre couette pour 7.50€) then the Cordonnerie du Centre (clefs minute) which is closed today, as it’s Monday, Market Day. Why does half of Pontivy shut on Monday Market Day? Odd… At least my bank, Crédit Agricole opens up in the afternoon, unlike most other branches in the region, which are shut on Mondays.

Big market today in Pontivy so I think we will go stroll around it and do some window shopping, say hi to some of the stall holders we know. Pity it’s so grey and overcast and keeps spitting rain…

Ah, but that’s Spring here in Brittany.
