When pigs fly

Quand les poules auront des dents // Never

Day 5 of Inktober gives us "chicken" as a prompt. That comes two days after "roasted", I guess someone was hungry.

Anyhow, here is a lovely french idiom "Quand les poules auront des dents" - "When chickens have teeth", meaning never. Or, as it were, when pigs fly.

And here is a chicken, all ready for a Halloween party, looking rather splendid in his Dracula costume.

Il y a toutes sortes d'oiseaux

Il y a toutes sortes d'oiseaux sur le cap Fréhel // There are all sorts of birds on cape Fréhel
Today, we listened to a dialogue in a tourist office somewhere in Bretagne, trying to decipher it. Afterwards, a transcript of the audio was given out, and I promptly lost it, don't ask me how. 

I am pretty sure there was a phrase in it about all sorts of birds you can see on cape Fréhel.

The cat, on the other hand, always wanted to be a bat.
