Hi friends
It was a
busy day today with those domestic chores, but the weather was lovely.
Look at the
sky. It is such an unusual colour. The sky is blue in England? ….Could be the
reflection of wheely bins or something.
The air was crisp
and bit frosty in the morning. Snow drops are still with us. It looks like the
BBC weather man was right after all. We had the coldest March.
I don’t know
why but I always get a craving for Mont d’Or this time of the year. It is said
this smelly cheese only appears in the market from September to April but I
have never found one in April in this country. French people must be keeping
the last batches all to themselves.
Went to Waitrose
but their soft cheese selection was surprisingly poor. Never mind. We have
glorious Paxton and Whitfield in Stratford-upon-Avon. Hurrah! (a shop in the middle)
Much to my
sorrow, I was touch late. I was told that the last Mont d’Or was sold before Good Friday. I now
have to wait for 6 months. Damn! x 3.
After
finishing grocery shopping, I went to Bensons for lunch. (at the very end of this photo http://bensonsrestaurant.co.uk/)
I got a
little table at the corner from where I can see all tables. I must admit, I
am such a nosey person and often do “people watching” when I am alone. There
were a group of 4 ladies looking like in their 30s, a so-middle-class-looking
lady in her late 40s, and a mother about my age & her teenage daughter.
Those 4 ladies dressed stylishly but the way they were eating! Not elegant at all. God save them
all.
“Don’t move
your head towards the food, move your cutlery to your mouth.” Didn’t your grandmother tell you that at the Sunday dinner table?
Whilst the
teenage daughter was piling up the crusts of her sandwich on the plate – another thing I don’t
find it particularly elegant – the upper crust lady in her late 40s was eating
her dinner so beautifully. Her head was not moving at all. Ladies, this is the
elegance I so want to acquire.
When I was
discreetly checking her beautiful manner, a very English looking gentleman –
you know those endangered species, wearing a hat, groves, and a good quality long
coat comes with a walking stick, perfect! - came to the tea room with an oriental
girl.She must be
a Thai, I could tell
Hummm. An English man in his 70s and a Thai girl. Wow, that is so Juno’s cup of tea. Off course, I started my discreet observation. Yes, I am hopelessly nosey! Tee hee hee.

This sugar daddy dressed immaculately in such an old English way, obviously did not
teach his young companion how to dress in public. Her thermal underwear was showing its presence
rather boldly underneath her jumper and it looks like it was done on purpose.
Do you remember teenagers used to show t-shirt under t-shirt? I think she meant
it…..God save this girl as well.
My German
friend once commented that this kind of companionship / relationship is really
disgraceful and it creates the image of all Far Eastern ladies as gold diggers
or even worse, prostitutes. I don’t share such an extreme view, as majority of
us are better educated to know the truth. However, I am so not keen on the man who said to me in a patronising manner that young Oriental girls have a tendency to go for much older
men. Sadly, this guy completely mixed up Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Thais.
To sum up, God
save us all……
