Beaucoup de patience

Le chat a beaucoup de patience // The cat has a lot of patience

Today’s prompt is patience, written the same in English and in French.

Pronunciation, however, is very different. Russian word «пасьянс», card game for one involving extracting order out of chaos, has its origin in French pronunciation. The games of this type, however, are not French but rather Scandinavian or German. Makes sense, the longer, darker and lonelier winter evenings you have, the more likely you are to invent such pastime.

In other news, our quarantine is prolonged till 26 April as a minimum. My list of prompts doesn’t go that far, so I will need to generate some more.
