"Drache nationale" (Drash nash-oh-nal) = the unofficial name for July 21st in Belgium to indicate it's (almost) always raining on our National Day.

And yes, it was ... obviously.

Spend an hour or 2 outside, conquering more weeds and not tripping over slugs, who came out in full force cause ... RAIN and WET.
Then helped Dad load up some leftover sand which we are donating to my nephew. He's gonna put it to good use in his new garden.

Tomorrow is packing day and then Saturday we leave for France. My sister has already decided she'll drive the first 2 hours or so, then I get to do the traffic jams near and around Amiens (which I sincerely hope for once are not actually occuring but that's wishful thinking cause there's always traffic jams happening around Amiens), then she'll take the wheel again and then I get to drive the last leg again. In total it's probably a 6 hour or so drive but we intend to make it the scenic route.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Pretty Friday!

Ah, gardening in the rain. At least it keeps everything cool.

Scenic route is always a good choice.

Awesome! Hope you have a great time!

Say hello to Joe Flanigan.

As you might have already seen on my insta, I had fun in the yard today.

I have a fat lip from a trail ride last night. Tree branch got me. In other news signed up for intermediate mountain biking class, lol. Though I don’t think it will help with the branches, it should be fun.

Fun! I saw Joe was going and was soooo tempted.

[Morgania]

Awesome! Hope you have a great time!

Thanks! I'll also be exploring Atlanta more this time.

Ouchie! Curse those branches! Have fun with the class, though!

Yay exploring! And say hi to Joe for us!

Made it to the seaside in France after 9 hours of driving a distance of 623 kilometers...
I've seen enough traffic jams to last me the rest of the week.

However, driving through Saint-Maire-Église* was nice, and in passing Utah and Omaha Beach... and yes, there will be WWII sites visited. There's one of the largest American military cemetaries near Bayeux, and there are a couple of German ones in the neighborhood.

*An important place in the landing of the allied troops.

We're going to the botanical garden in the evening for music and cocktails. Dragon Con is towards the end of my trip. It will be nice to meet Joe. I've only met a couple SGA actors.

Ouch! Having been through my share of long-distance traffic jams myself, yeah, not a great way to start a vacay. But you made it! *hugs* Hope you have a great time, it sounds like you've got an awesome list of places to see!

Looks like it's gonna be a fun and relaxing trip! Have a great time!

GW is still angry with me. Just lost a post. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I hiked, bikes and snuck in some tubing! The river was gloriously cold, so delightful on this 90plus degree day.

My weekend has been fun. I went to the farmers market, and attended a lavender festival.

Shame on GW for losing that post!

Ah, that river sounds so refreshing!

That definitely sounds like lots of fun! Lavender is wonderful!

*blows in on the wind*

The sand is of good quality here. I tasted a bit earlier.
Should have looked the other way but had to look at the sea and the wind was so kind as to give a taste of the beach ... a literal taste that is. Bleh!

Yesterday was hot in the sun but in the shade it was okay so spend the entire afteroon in our small yard here. During lunch hours we walked the beach, and dipped our feet in the water. Once our feet were wet the temp of the water was okay. It also helped that we were wearing our watershoes fit for kayaking. I'll post the seashells we collected on instagram later (I realize just now I haven't posted any pictures yet nor have I had the chance to pull out Pat McRock).

Poor old Pat McRock will have to be content to just see the pictures of what he missed on instagram then sobbing.gif
