Actually, we're having a day of that weather, too. Probably not too many left before we hit 100-115 every day. But, today it's in the low 80s, and beautiful. House all opened up.<br /><br />I know what you mean. Hate to go to computer stores, and places where they think only the young count. As you said, you're the one paying the bill. That's disgraceful that Maison du Chocolat only gave out samples to young pretty girls. You're going to appreciate this book.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-48971587668303282842012-05-26T08:27:06.113-05:002012-05-26T08:27:06.113-05:00Sounds very interesting Lesa.

There were comments on Twitter just yesterday about Maison du Chocolat handing out free samples in one of our towns and only giving them to young, pretty, girls. (I had to point out that on the very same day I had been approached by a very nice young man from a local wine bar who had given me their card and told me all about their menu - so it isn't universal, but it certainly is very common, for us to be ignored.)<br /><br />I certainly feel that in places like computer stores, and especially the dreaded phone shops, I am instantly dismissed because I'm not under 25 - which is particularly aggravating when it's I who pay the phone bills for 2 of my 3 under 18s!<br /><br />So I will look out for this book - thanks for telling us about it. Hope you are having a good weekend - we just had our coffee in the garden of a local plant nursery, absolutely lovely - blue skies and birds singing.<br /><br />RosemaryRosemarynoreply@blogger.com
