Ah the smell of burnt dust in the night

threemonkeysThe season changed yesterday. Just like that it went from mid summer to mid autumn in a very real and practical sense with wind and rain. What makes it a season change rather than just a rainstorm is that it was cold and it is still cool today. I see there is a weather warning for strong winds today - up to 120 km/h. That is proper equinoctial weather in my opinion.
It did prove to be the right sort of weather for a group of us to go to Bistro Breton last night. The meals there might be described as hearty - a good thing on a wild night but not so appropriate to a hot summer one. I enjoyed every bit of the meal. I was also amused by our waitress. Her service was good, but she had obviously been given instruction to include a bit of French in her dialogue with us to help with the atmosphere. The thing is, she was quite obviously not a speaker of the language. She seem quite uncomfortable even shifting linguistic gears to say "merci". You have to wonder why they bothered.
