New Years Eve

New Years Eve and we had been invited to a party with Graham, Eve, Stuart and Jenny and our new friend the immobilier and her business partner. The party was to be held at the Mothers house of the immobilier, we did not know what to expect, it turned out to be a really great evening. Everyone made us really welcome and we got to meet a group of new friends.

One of them is English and works in our local supermarket, and appears to be a fountain of knowledge so I am sure she will be useful to know.

Then, a very large French man who did not speak any English indicated to Dennis that he would like to dance with me. I was rather daunted by this as I had seen him dancing with his wife earlier and her feet hardly touched the ground, as he was spinning and twirling her all over the dance floor. Dennis had also seen this and thought it might be very amusing to see him do the same with me!!!

I was then submitted to very loud instructions shouted to me in French which I can only assume to be Spin, Twirl, In, Out, Faster, Slower, as he was doing the opposite actions to these. I think he thought by shouting them louder they would be clearer to me. We must have looked a treat on the dance floor. It sort of resembled me ending up turning around on the spot as I did not know which direction I was supposed to be heading. Still it made Dennis laugh. Needless to say he never asked for another dance.

We returned home exhausted at 4.30am the next morning.
