En Vacances


I just came to tell you that I'm going.

Despite le crunch du credit and that tax man shouting 'cos he wants his dough, lawdy we do need a holiday - even if it's for only a week in France from tomorrow via the dreaded Ryanair and it'll probably rain; but, you know, the cheese is nice there, the wine's cheaper too and we can look at lavendery fields for a bit. I think a person needs to look at lavendery fields for a bit, sometimes. French supermarkets are fun too. Hey, I know how to have a good time.

I will miss you.

In the manner of your Collins French-English, English-French dictionary...

Serge Gainsbourg - 'Je Suis Venu Te Dire Que Je M'En Vais' (1975)
Jarvis Cocker & Kid Loco- 'I Just Came To Tell You That I'm Going' (2006)

Back August 18th.

Allez, salut maintenant x

    Have a good one Davey, we almost popped off to France this year - love a splash of Serge. Don't overdo it on the frittes - and what are those Tabacs all about, just seem to be full of swarthy sippers.

    Bastard. I'm working until September. Right the way through. Still, when everyone else is back at work I'll be off somewhere sunny and hot.

    Enjoy!!!

    I remembered it as 'dans l'arbre' too, but he seems to have developed it over the years...
