Good morning early birds. @Pat E and @Dovefromabove Not that early here! I usually find myself awake during the night so I read and then try to get back to sleep - usually around 6.30 am (until 8ish) or just get up.
Today is called Armistice here in France.
Perfect picture of a poppy, Pat!!
Dismal again, but the rain has abated. We had a good dose yesterday so the weeds should finally pull up fairly cleanly!! A cycle to Lidl for a few bibs and bobs - any excuse now!!
Your paella looks good Dove. Tripe today - à la mode de Caen - not in the white sauce my mother used to make and my father loved. OOooarrhh! My tripe is gently simmered with turnips, carrots, leek, celery etc. with a little tomato concentrate and white wine. I sprinkle with the dried then fried Padron peppers crumbled over it.
The morning is tumbling away so I'd better get cracking! Have an enjoyable day everyone. Tui
Ooooh I’m on my way @tui34 … I adore tripe …. cooked in any way. Sadly not easy to find in the UK nowadays. The marvellous tripe and chitterlings stall on Norwich market closed some years ago 😢

Thank you @Pat E for that lovely poppy for Armistice Day.
A few minutes ago the sky was a soft lilac all over … but it’s fading fast … thankfully my coffee maker is stirring (see what I did there) 🤣

After all, the whole idea came from the Armistice declared at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month …
