In sales mode and lots of reminiscing

We have decided to sell our lovely little other house in the village so I need to contact agents today. If you have 150,000 euros (£107,000) that you would like to invest in a fully and tastefully restored rustic village house then take a look at the details on this web page http://www.masducantarel.com/la_villa.htm A bargain for a pied a terre in this delightful, peaceful, wine growing village.

We all have a lie in, and then sit and reminisce on the terrace, after a late breakfast fry up. Stories about our times as tennis coaches abound. This one is funny and fairly typical.

Rob has been coaching a lady (let's call her B) and one very hot sunny day, whilst she was picking up tennis balls, Rob feigning surprise, and said "it doesn't look like you are wearing any knickers?"
B, not being the bashful sort, lifted up her skirt and showed him that she was.
Rob said, "oh, that's a pity!"
B said, "listen sunshine, one day I'll surprise you."
The next week, when she was picking up balls, Rob happened to notice that his every wish had come true! Surreptitiously he threw a few more down!!

Rob has never been to Montpellier, so we scrap the idea of the Feria in Nimes and head off to Montpellier by way of the tram from Odysseum and then eat at L'Entrecote, just off the Place de la Comedie for the best steak and frites around.
