@Nanny Beach it seems a buffet dress is one that is not close fitting and has gathered layers of skirt in increasingly wide bands falling from the bodice - very 70s I think. Anyway, it seems to mean you can go to the buffet as much as you like without bursting out as it is so loose. Not a good style for my hourglass which is a constant whether I'm feeling slim or podgy.
@didyw - even the French aren't necessarily chic round here. Depends on character, taste, job and budget more than nationality anyway. I do try to be presentable and coordinated tho when I'm out and about but not in the garden or for DIY.
I hope your eyebrows are well-trimmed @Hostafan1!!

I've had my vaccination Such a relief. I felt quite emotional, about being protected and about all those people who've worked so hard to find vaccines. I think it's the only way out of this situation.

P came with hay and took the donkey out out so that I could collect his piles of droppings. I got 6 barrowloads full, now in a heap in the veg area. Will be good for my next rose bed.
I think I'll watch Sewing Bee tonight. Just waiting for my herby chicken to cook. Having fresh French asparagus too, a treat. I went to the "Grand Frais" greengrocer after my jab. Strawberries for pud.

That's very good news @Busy-Lizzie - on all fronts! We've just had butterflied sea bass fillets but no puds as we treat ourselves on Thursdays to Danish pastries via Sainsbury's.
