We returned from warm Marseille of about 24° to 15° at Puteaux. It was cold. We were shocked to find that the water flooding had made the wooden planks on the floor to swell and rise in many places. Purni and Flo had to get the house ready for the party next day. Purni had invited her friends, Amelie, Rachel and her family, Cesar and his girl friend and Carem.
We had gifts for all of them, scarves, alcohol, Himalaya products. There was a lot of food. Paneer with capsicum and onion by Flo, butter chicken and veg pulao by Purni. I made chicken biryani and salmon fish fry. We made pachadi. There was ready made samosa, chicken rolls. Also ready made parotta.
We had a nice get-together. They all made an effort to talk in English with us. The kids of Rachel were very well behaved. The French bizu is back. They all enjoyed the food
There was a lot of cleaning up and storing of the loads of leftover food.
The next day was a relaxed day with shopping for our chennai trip back. We packed our bags, trying to make sure they were not over the weight of 23 kg each and 12 kg hand luggage. We had a lot of chocolates and cheese in our luggage.
We had a dinner of melted cheese on vegetables and meat in the Raclette machine.
The last day in France, May 15 we relaxed and weighed our bags. We were maxed out on the weight of our bags.
I got ready for the Jim Gaffigan show. It was very cold and we wore layers of warm clothing to travel to Paris for the show. When we reached there we were in for a disappointment...for some reason the show had been preponed and we had missed the show.😞
Flo resolutely decided to watch Gaffigan's shows on Netflix and YouTube and that is what we all did that evening. Well, the evening turned out to be not that bad, with all of us enjoying Gaffigan's comedy.
It was an early flight the next morning and we started off to the airport.
The trip to France was over all too soon.
