Bonjour, Good morning.
That Friday feeling is hopefully not being dampened by the rain. Gardeners and farmers will be glad to see it, even if the rest of us aren’t. I hope that you’ll still get outside in spite of the rain. As the old saying goes, “You’re not made of salt!” Sometimes a walk in the rain can be even more fun.
Newsdesk today focuses on France. The land of the Eiffel Tower, Mona Lisa, Tour de France, Joan of Arc, fashion, garlic! Have you ever been? What do you know about France? Well’ if you read Newsdesk today, you’ll know a whole lot more!
