Yesterday Catherine came and stayed for supper. We had a lovely evening chatting and as Duncan was out at The Band of Brothers it was especially precious. It's amazing at the similarities in our pasts! God draws the right people into your life at the right time.
We had steak and salad. As Duncan said in his last blog, steak is cheaper here, and we had lovely fillet steak. As we were yumming it up, Catherine said:
"MMM this is so sensitive."
"Sensitive steak?? Oh you mean tender!!"
I love the little differences in language use!
We are with bi-lingual people here which is very humbling for two English speakers with nothing but a smattering of French!
it is when people use the same words but mean something different as in the USA, that I find confusing too. It is really hot here at present I got up early 5 a.m.to do some washing and some baking to save doing it all in the heat. Tomorrow is another work day at Church. David and Margaret are doing Jacket Potatoes and Chilli for lunch and my cakes follow on for afters. with loads of drinks of tea ,coffee and squash. Mid morning we do lots of toast and marmalade also. So a busy time for everyone.
