"Coup" d' été?

It's not only the Queen of England who doesn't carry money!
How often do we hear "I couldn't live in a small town where everybody knows your business."?
The Shepherd of Sommard set off today to get himself sheared in readiness for the summer, after having called in to see JoJo at the decheterie in Varen to dump the cupboard doors Val wouldn't take for her chicken run.

aside: And what's so special about double yolkers? We had one today. Point of lay hens too! Wonder if it's something to do with young hens being chocka with a lifetimes eggs!

Anyway back to shearing.
Shepherd: Qu'est ce que la chance d'un shearing?
Coiffeuse: Tres bon. Tout de suite?
Shepherd: OK. On y va.
Coiffeuse: assis toi.
Shepherd: Attang! J'ai pas des sous, chequier, rien.
Coiffeuse: N'importe passe avec le quand te veux.

Amazing eh? She didn't know me from Adam but was willing to trust me. It happens so often here. That's why I love living in a small place.
