Daily snippets for April 18th
Today’s saint: St Parfait, a priest who was martyred around 850 AD in Andalusia.
Famous French person born on this day: Paul Émile (François) Lecoq de Boisbaudran (18 April 1838 – 28 May 1912). I have to mention him as he was a chemist (like Chris). He discovered the element gallium.
Famous French person who died on this day: Gustave Moreau (6 April 1826 – 18 April 1898), French symbolist painter
Today’s French word: broyeur – crusher, grinder. Why did I choose this word? Chris is busy trying to fix the grass-cutting broyeur on the back of our tractor today, but it’s not going too well!
I am the same with the veg. I like this abc thing. very fun.
i hope the mower gets fixed soon.

Me too, or our grass will be out of control!
oooh I recognize that! I had to laugh though…we have so much in common!
Amazing what one learns about someone from these ABC things. I have to have a go on my blog, but I’ll have to think very carefully about the answers…
I shall look forward to reading it!
