Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time. Terry Pratchett

We had a visitor in the garden yesterday. The black squirrel is relatively common in this part of Hertfordshire but it's the first year they have started coming into the garden. I took the shot through the conservatory window which is in need of a bit of a clean, hence the 'smoky' smear. The light was very dim and I didn't have time to change to the big lense on my camera. This is a cropped version of the original.

Special Thanks! alwaysjbj made me the beautiful banner!
I hate to fall into the predictable pattern of "I'm sorry guys! I had big plans but they collapsed into rubble around me!" But... Well, it happened. So I'll post what I've got and present the (hopefully) finished 'other' on the Free-For-All Day.

Let me first say I had a glass of tasty white wine Pouilly-Fuissé , it may explain why I’m writing this down

Read the last chapter of nautibitz ’s Crave and it made me smile (contentedly ) to see that Spike speaking French to Buffy ( he’s been doing it for a while now throughout the story ) is regarded as an absolute , irresistible seduction -obviously, the words themselves have the capacity to melt the ice-floe so it’s not solely the accent . ;)
It has to be said that men from foreign countries speaking French can leave me shivering with delight.
Well, some of them.

During a meet and greet , I had once the opportunity to ask James just after he said he had wonderful memories of his last trip to France and especially enjoyed visiting Notre Dame de Paris to tell me a few words in Molière’s tongue .
He did.
J'aime la France.J'aimerais y retourner un jour. sounded deliciously sexy , I confirm.

Best request, ever. :)
Nervous as a skittish kitten, me? You’re kidding.

I handled it nicely .

I didn’t become a puddle of goo ,no not me
I thanked him profusely saying that his accent was wonderful and I hoped he would come back, sooner than later
What can I say ? I’m a woman who can multitask: be delighted and capable of a coherent thought

I started swooning long ,long after he went displaying his charm elsewhere.
I swear.

If you wonder how long , it was twenty seconds.
