Theme of the day: soccer! Or "le foot," as it's called over here. Ivy and Inga had practice at OGC Nice, while I brought Zari to her practice at Villefranche. Normally Dio would also have practice in Villefranche but he doesn't start until Friday this week.
Dio doesn't want to do soccer. This is a common theme, whether it's starting soccer or school or whatever. He gets really down and doesn't want to do The Thing. He cries and grumbles. We force him to do The Thing and he ends up liking it.
I know something that would REALLY cheer Dio up! Would you help me out? Please PLEASE subscribe to his YouTube channel (or have your kids subscribe, if they're into things like Minecraft). Even better, watch and comment on his videos!
I was feeling unwell yesterday. General malaise with no symptoms. Anyway, this morning I dragged myself out of bed to wake kids up for school, then dragged myself back into bed until 9:30 am. If you know me, that is so out of character. But I feel so much better today after that long sleep.
We were playing at the coulée verte after lunch, and Zari did a magnificent but unintentional slide tackle. It looked like grass but was slippery mud. She was so wet and dirty that she had to go back home and change.
Inga spent a long time during lunch peeling and arranging shrimp. When you buy shrimp over here, they are fully intact with heads, antennas, legs, & shells. Then she made a commercial.
I mixed up a double batch of sourdough and need to shape the boules before bed tonight. This will make 4 large loaves or 6 medium loaves. We also made lemon cheesecake. So good!
Yesterday's dinner: mussels & fries in Roquefort cream sauce, shrimp, Mozart chocolates
Day before yesterday was a "green" dinner: green vegetable puree topped with crème fraîche, pasta with pesto, and cucumbers with cream cheese.
