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.

just like the old days

Just like the old days - and not in a good way!

Saturday night spent in on my own while Trevor went out to a gig. True I could have gone too but we weren't very clear on what sort of evening it was to be and I do hate sitting around like a spare part. Anyway he had fun and it's not likely to be a regular event. I got loads of sewing done, watched too much TV then lay awake waiting for him to arrive back. Not surprisingly with the change in hour we didn't have a very long morning today.

It's decidedly un spring like today. We went for a mooch around the brocante at Lalbenque, in previous years I can remember going there with the roof down, not so today and some stallholders were giving up and going home. We bought a pretty silver plated soup ladle, some tin spoons to make into plant labels and a big copper pot for my garden collection. Then back to our "dens" - Trevor to the shed where he is making doors and me to my attic to sew.
