Cannes Film Festival

This weekend is a long weekend in France. My favourites even though I'm not working, it just means I get to see more of eveyone and everyone is in a great mood.

Yesterday we went over to Cannes for the festival and strolled the prom, we did our best to hunt down the celebrities but they are a wily lot and we saw zero famous folk. I'll just have to wait to see the photos in Hello!, OK magazine and The Enquirer.

The only star we saw was a robot!

The weekend has got off to a great start with more than a few drinks at Smarties and Deux Freres bar, and being invited for a bbq on Sunday to watch the grand prix in Monaco on Sunday. Yippeee, and hopefully making a new friend. We did try to make a few more, but obviously shouting across from your balcony saying, "Are you English... do you fancy going for a drink?" does not work here in the Cote d'Azur and should be best left to Ibiza or Fuertuventura. We were a bit disappointed that they didn't come out but I did like the way Dan put it: "They've missed out on some great friends!"

And that pound I've been trying to shed has finally come off whooooohooo.
