Friday Fun from the birthday boy
Today is my birthday, so I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has sent me messages -- they are very much appreciated. I’m looking forward to enjoying the start of the party tonight when the children return from school and I have finished my work. It’s my first birthday since living in France and I look forward to spending every other one here too!
You may have noticed that the “Visitors” stats shot past 5000 for La Vie en Foussais recently. This is really amazing and I am so glad that people are enjoying the site enough to keep coming back and reading what I have to say. Please don’t be shy about leaving comments -- I really do love to receive them and its great to develop a community around a site like this.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for reading, I think I will leave you with a chuckle. On this day in 2005 Ronnie Barker, British comedy genius, sadly gave his last laugh. So here for a bit of Friday Fun is “Swedish Made Simple”, one of my favourite Two Ronnies sketches.
Enjoy!

Hi Richard,
Happy birthday, have a fab first b’day in France.
Great sketch – I wonder if your other favourite is ‘fork ‘andles’?

Frances: Thanks Frances! I love fork `andles…a great example of how even people speaking the same language can be totally misunderstood!
Bob: You can’t beat the Two Ronnies!
