Slept in late.  Fond memories of wine and friends and duck hearts kept me from leaving slumber too rapidly.  I spent some time adding details I had overlooked in my last post.  As a matter of fact I am going to add some more in a minute, but let’s talk about today.

We went out for one more appliance (a dish washer ) which hadn’t arrived with the others, and we went to Florent’s place to get Eric’s bed.  Brought those back here and moved them up, put them together, and had a bit of wine and cheese to celebrate.

We drank the last of our bottle of Corbières Rouge from last night.  With that we had a couple of cheese and baguette.  The first cheese was a Cantal (a region); it is a subtle mountain cheese from happy cows which goes really well with cherry jelly.  The second cheese was a Camembert (from Normandy).  A fine strong ladle made cheese also from very happy cows.

After finishing this fine repast, we did our various computer duties and broke out a bottle of Fronton (Carte Noire Fronton 2006).   Earthy and similar to certain Pinot Noirs.

Being Friday we’ll likely go out for dinner around ten this evening.
