Prenez du chocolat

Prenez du chocolat afin que les plus méchantes compagnies vous paraissent bonnes // Take some chocolate so that the nastiest companies look good to you.

Today’s quote, by Madame De Sévigné, brought to mind a picture of the cat enjoying his hot chocolate while a brawl was raging about him. Then I decided that maybe a scene in a bar while a football match is going on will do. Not sure why the cat went to the bar, he should have gone to a nice quiet pâtisserie, but I guess he was overcome by an attack of acute chocolack and decided to take his chances in the nearest place he can find.

And the chocolate is working its magic on him. Look at his pleased face. He doesn’t even mind the guy on the left, clearly angry about his team losing, leaning on his shoulder. Long as the cup stays full, he stays happy.
