Lazy Day

 The latest installment of what can go wrong in Quimper finds one of us stumbling to find the bathroom in the middle of the night accusing the other of turning off the lights and shutting the bathroom door when in fact there was, upon awakening fully and making a closer inspection, a far reaching (aka as far as the eye could reach) power outage. After unplugging and turning off all devices to save their batteries, we managed to get back to sleep. By the time we awoke this morning, all was back to normal. So I decided to toss a couple items in the little washing machine only to have it lock, agitate a couple times, flash an error code, and then refuse to give me back my stuff. The door would not unlock again. Translations. Cancellations. Frustrations. Etc etc until something literally and figuratively clicked and it opened.  At which point I decided, that I really didn’t need to do any wash after all. 

Off we went exploring again, by which I mean strolling the river again.


Having a light lunch while taking in the table tennis/fitness day activities. And checking out the inside of the cathedral with its presumably inexplicably off-angled (8% they say) nave.


Then back to our same creperie from last night at our same table for more cidre maison and Michaels now favorite foie gras crepe. (with healthy greens, of course).

Finally, since I see no one answered the question about the wall-e esque statue atop the Lion tower in Rochefort-en-terre, I am offering up two new art quiz questions:

These four foot tall artificial flowers are in front of shops all over Quimper. What kind of flowers are the supposed to be and why are the there? (The philodendron greenery on this one is not standard.)
And this lovely is displayed on the staircase to our apartment. Does it speak to you? And if so, what is it saying?
