Yesterday, while running 🏃♂️ from the copyshop
Of the supplies Of BÛCHE DE NOËL
In boulangeries in my neighborhood.
Christmas logs are delicate, perishable creatures
Filled with meringue
Fragile chocolate mousse
Crème de Grand-Marnier
And fresh fruits.
You must pick up your bûche de Noël at least the day before Revéillon dinner, even though you may have ordered it a week or a month in advance.
or break the bank.
I must quickly run to la Poste 📮 & la bank
