Aici sèn pla

This blog started as a daily record to mark our fifth year at Segala. Daily it did not turn out to be but after the year I have decided to continue as an occasional diary - after all I do still like it here or "aici sen pla".


Its our fifth year living at Segala. I have decided to try to mark this year with a daily post ( some days it will be just a photo) of our life over the year. I have trawled my brain for witty titles without success then I remembered the slogan on the T shirts at the fête in Espinas in the summer.


A friend translated it from the occitan for us. It seems to mean something along the lines of I like it here. Very apt for us, "I like it here " is a refrain we use to each other at least daily so that's the plan - Aici sén pla - a year of daily musings from a contented retired expat who thinks herself damned lucky every single day.

chez nous

After a busy week we were both quite pleased with the idea of a whole day and evening at home, especially with such amazing weather. The temperatures are in the high 20s by day at the moment and even with a breeze blowing today  it was really warm and the pool temperature went up to 20 again.

"Gnu" meant I couldn't get a lot done but did manage to be useful by sitting beside the shredder and clearing up as Trevor continued working on the hedges.








It stayed warm into the evening as well today. I had thought we had had the last of the barbecues for the year but today it just had to be done and afterwards we sat outside until it got dark.
