I may have mentioned that mon mari is not overly fond of fish.
He likes salmon…. Or, at least, he tolerates salmon. He even likes it fixed simply, grilled being preferred, but other methods are acceptable.
Occasionally, I get to do other fish, cod or tuna or sole. As long as there are absolutely no bones and I do something interesting.
He liked this.

Mon mari added lights to the last room.
Now that the ceiling his done he feels safe putting the lights up.
This is the first time they’ve been out of their boxes since we left the Vendée.
We bought them (yes, they are meant to be a set) to put in the upstairs hall in that house, that had the over-the-top jungle print wallpaper.
They were perfect.
Since this is the last room to be finished, and also the smallest of the 4 bedrooms, we decided it could have the fanciest lights.
They’re a bit over-the-top as well.
We have to have some fun.
He’s working on the floor – just not very rapidly…… We had sunshine today.
The tune does indeed look interesting … as interesting as the lights! Yes, I’d say fun. Good luck on the floor. It was sunny here today too.
Great lights
They are fun lights – I suspect the spiders will also like them!
They look amazing and yes you must have some fun !! I like the miso look tuna – that is one fish I do happily eat – no bones for me either !
Tanna, the tuna was good – and the veggies…
Thanks, Phoenicia.
Gill, and thanks for the reminder….
kate, I really like tuna…. the hubs tolerates it LOL The last room will be fun.
Love the tuna. Great lights. Can’t believe it is the last room to be done. What will he do with his time?
Penny, he has a summer job LOL He’s taking care of lawns for other expats
Great, I love new interesting ways to cook fish! The last room, wow that must feel good!
