‘Living like God in France’

June 18, 2023June 1, 2023 ~ Jnana Hodson ~ Leave a comment

My late German mother-in-law was fond of the expression, and I do wonder what it lost in translation.

I never could tell if it was a grudging admiration or an underlying censure.

The times she used it, though, I felt we were actually living better – and more simply.

“The warm air temperatures in the upper 60s Saturday afternoon may cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures which are currently in the mid 40s.”

Not to speak of the strong currents.

Gee, we are surrounded by danger in all this beauty.

Having rewatched the last episode of Ted Lasso, I think there’s enough good material to develop for at least one season without the central character.

Trent’s book even suggests the title.

Anyone else agree?
