...boxing gloves?

the morning was spent doing more chipping /shredding of their hedge (it's a slow business, although i did take quite a bit off),

In the afternoon we all went to Aix-en-Provence, a beautiful city, that just happened to have a parade on that day... not sure what the Residents have to do with it, but... there were zombies playing a soca, a dragon float too big to fit round a fountain holding up most of the parade, and lots and lots of confetti and silly string

scorpion watch: J squished one with a broom, after finding under some laundry - so they are about but i've still yet to find a live one!
