I look forward to the day that my ex and I are able to spend such a platonic day together.

Hubby said after they had gone that it might be better if next time they visit places that they can pronounce!

When the receptionist at our surgery told me I needed to see an ORL (oto-rhino-l? or ear nose and throat doctor) I misheard ‘eau airelle’ and asked if you could buy it at the chemist!

Try having the French pronounce squirrel to get a chuckle

Thanks Petite for the inspiration to start a blog.
