Missing you already - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
Missing you already is Mya’s blog about her life in the French Pyrenees and starts off in April 2007 with the words… “It’s all been a terrible mistake. I didn’t mean to end up here, clinging onto the side of a sheep infested mountain. My nostrils are used to the metallic fumes of diesel, they can’t cope with the organic pongs rife around here. Everyone is laughing at my Liberty print wellies and I’d tell them to sod off if I could only find my dictionary.”
Things can’t have been that bad because by May 2007, Mya is openly talking about peeing in public (and at the post office) as we can see from… Embarrassed, Moi?
And, before long, she’s talking about French Flashers and snail porn in Any old excuse to write lots of filth!
With posts like Troll Wooing, Mya shows that she has a firm grasp of French politics and in Hanging up my suspenders, Mya explains that, for her, hooking is over!
In Bag Lady (a post that must be specific to those of the female persuasion), Mya shows us the contents of her handbag and then explains that… “British vernacular masterclass – in uncouth circles, the term to ‘drop your handbag’ means to fart. Don’t say you never learn anything on my blog!”
Funny, I managed to spend the best part of 40 years living in England without learning that. I must have moved in posher circles than some I could mention!
Now, I probably shouldn’t tell you this but… Mya does seem to have a thing about bearded rugby players and Firemen! You only have to look at… In the Raw and Smouldering Looks to see what I mean. I wonder if her husband knows – they’re always the last to find out, aren’t they?
I mean, what can you say about someone who posts articles such as… Does my bum look slightly less gigantic in this? , Have I no shame? and Molestation!
I suggest you find out for yourself what Mya’s up to. The address is Missing You Already, Halfway up a Mountain, French Pyrenees.
Me, I’m off to have another read of A Bra and a Dwarf!
All the best
