Jolly Chat

[joggerjayne]

No subject in particular.

Just having a chat.

Not in the French slang sense, obviously.

[Euphemia]

Tant mieux.

[joggerjayne]

"your aunt is good" ??

[joggerjayne]

"my aunt is the best?"

[redman41]

Hi JJ nice to see you back after your Hols. Was it Helvetia again ?

[joggerjayne]

That's very knowledgeable, redman !

We spent a week in Italy with "his" parents ... yes, scary for me!

And then, yes, we went back to Switz. for a week.

I thought I'd better come home for a couple of days (otherwise, how is Olive going to do my laundry? LOL).

On Wednesday, I'm going to meet him in Spain, for a "proper" holiday, Yay.

[redman41]

Good for you JJ, its best to get his Parents on board before the big day arrives ! O Sole Mio !!!

[Euphemia]

So much the better. I have no aunt! Which part of Switzerland?

[joggerjayne]

Whooh, steady on, redman ... LOL

His parents are lovely, but his mum is this gorgeous, uber-glam sort of person. I keep feeling a bit intimidated.

[joggerjayne]

So much the better! ... of course, Euphemia.

=0)

We spent three days on the Eastern tip of The Lake, around Lausanne and Montreux, and then the rest of the time in Geneva. Gambling, mostly, LOL.

Hai sedurre il nostro figlio in un cavo auto ?
Which translates
Did you seduce our Son in a Cable Car ?
lol lol

[Euphemia]

I lived in Lausanne many years ago - a very nice city and a lovely area.

[joggerjayne]

I can't even think about that in front of them.

[joggerjayne]

Wow, lucky you, Euphemia. It's just such a gorgeous spot. And the air is so clean.

[redman41]

LOL LOL !
You are a good sport JJ, all the best

[joggerjayne]

Be good, Mr redman, Sir.

hello j j enjoy the rest of your holidays ,i havent had any yet,just sitting in the garden,but it has been nice and peaceful.

[starone]

His mum might be uber-glam but I bet she is quaking inside same as you (or me). She's just good at not showing it on the outside.

[joggerjayne]

slinky ... chilling out ... that sounds pretty fab. Hope you're well. =0)

starbuck ... I know, I keep telling myself that. She's just one of those Italian women who always manage to look like Sophia Loren, even when they are just wearing jeans and pumps. (the "other" type of Italian women being the ones who look like the mama from the Dolmio advert, LOL).

[karenmac60]

Hey JJ, long time no see. Hope you're having fun ;) x

[DTCwordfan]

I wouldnt worry too much about the mum, JJ, unless you are about the same age!!!!

She is probably very happy that her son is happy.
