Desolée!!

This is a well-used expression in France. "Desolée", we don't have any bananas today, your cleaning isn't ready, you can't have an appointment with the doctor for 3 weeks . . . And I am desolée not to have a new post today. We are in the middle of wonderful family visits, so full of adventures and fun that there has not yet been time to sit quietly and write.
A bientôt!
