Had all intentions of going into town to be part of the Parade for Armistice Day but the rain was pelting down – so we watched the big commemoration on TV instead. Nicholas Sarkozy and Carla Bruneii, Prince Charles and Camilla were all speakers. It was very much like our ANZAC day commemoration. It was the 90th Year today since the signing in the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Very sobering and moving especially when they mentioned New Zealand’s help.
The rest of the day was spent scrapbooking and catching up on the girl’s books. They managed to do all of Paris, this took all afternoon, (about 5 hours) while we also watched Miss Congeniality with Sandra Bullock – in French and then Crocodile Dundee in New York also of course in French! One great thing here is there is only 1 ad break during movies, a bit like intermission, it goes for about 7 minutes and only 1 short break during TV programmes. Just enough time to get refreshments and small jobs done.
The evening passed with me sorting photos and labelling them while Nev watched war documentary, not sure how much he understood! But there was a lot of old film footage.
I will also include some pictures to look at!
