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.

bad light stops play


A rise in temperatures  today meant I could return to play in my den.  I needed to thaw out my machine to sew the border on my blue window hanging. Then there was my nine patch project to start. It was great to be back,the afternoon just disappeared, in the end it was failing light  which reminded me I had other duties  - ie  creating a meal out of yesterdays leftovers.




The bad news is that today the radiator in the kitchen has given up the ghost - a change in electrical regulations since it's installation means we will have to get an electrician to connect the new one - bugger!
