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.

Gnu



The French word  for knee is genou - as my left knee is currently being halfway to useless I've renamed it!

Normally it is the arthritis in my right knee which stops me doing things but my left knee seems to have a weakness and sometimes just gives way. After our first long walk of the season a few weeks back plus back to dance workshops twice a week it decided that it was being ignored and would make it's presence felt. Continuing to ignore it didn't work so for over a week I have been trying to rest it, I even missed both dancing classes last week - Trevor went on his own - I can't go and just watch, that's torture and I always get up and join in - just like I did at the Libertalia concert.

Anyway enough should be enough Gnu I've been thinking about you for over a week now - it's Tuesday, that means dancing at Caylus, Now you've had your moment of fame give me a break.



It does mean I'd better stop in the garden for now, maybe some reading and sewing in the sun this afternoon - it's not all bad news! There's still a lot of colour in the garden as there has still been no frost so far this year.
