Flashback: The little sparrow

No, not Edith Piaf.

Our second night in Brest, I think it was a Wednesday, we decided to head out for some karaoke after dinner. So we wandered across the road to this karaoke bar, full of young French people, singing, for the most part, French songs. So, Petrina, as is her wont, boldly steps forward, selects a song and puts her name down. before too long, it was her turn and she got up and sang "Knock On Wood", so the delight of the French boys and girls who started to sing along with the chorus. I never thought I´d say this, but my wife really knows how to please a room full of French girls.

After that we had some more French beer and Pet sang another song before the smoke just got too much for us and, like squares, we left for the clean air of out hotel, never to return again...
