I felt exactly like you Nectarine, and I thought there must be an easier way to say it, in German it is a simple reflexive verb "Ich freue mich", does that really not exist in French which seems a very "round the houses way" to say I look forward. But thank you anyway!    Report

I would have said, Cassis, that in that case you could be on a par with a Toulouse sausage but then you don't come from or live in Toulouse! BTW lovely to see you on the forum again.  I was worried you'd gone AWOL or can no longer bear to speak to us or some such. Shall I pass the mustard now?  And I do mean Colman's and none of this Dijon stuff!    Report
