First stop, the monthly market in the marketplace of Midsomer Norton Françoise bought her usual fish order. There are no fishmongers in Midsomer Norton and she doesn't like to rely on frozen fish. We bought some freshly baked bread and some cheese made with unpasturized milk. The event was fairly well attended bearing in mind the on/off showery weather (below) I saw this advert for films,...

The end of another week and the start of a weekend
My week is divided into two parts, Monday to Friday, which I regard as working days even though I do not get paid and then the weekend.
