Le gagnant prend la première vague

Le gagnant prend la première vague // The winner takes the first wave

Today’s prompt is “winner”, gagnant.

So here is the cat, winning the first wave of the morning on Las Canteras. The slot allowed for non-professional sports, including aquatic, is currently from 6 am to 10 am, the evening slot is shorter and has almost no daylight. Surfers (all sportsmen, actually) are not allowed to take a motorised vehicle to get to the place where they do their thing, everybody has to get there under their own steam. So many of them are pretty puffed when they finally arrive.

Today is the third day of allowed physical exercise and things are going ok, except it’s Monday and some people, in theory, are going to work. So, being generous, you can assume the electric scooters are back on bicycle paths for a good reason (though I strongly suspect not all of them are). Regulations for those are still lacking, and they are public menace at the best of times. Right now, when everybody is trying to walk, run and cycle within the same allowed slot, they are downright danger.

PS: Je joins une photo que j'ai prise du balcon de l'hôtel

PS: Je joins une photo que j'ai prise du balcon de l'hôtel. Ce sont mes chaussettes préférées // PS: I attach a photo I took from the hotel's balcony. They are my favourite socks

Today i discovered that there were at least two homeworks of which existence I was not aware. There are very few lessons left, so I decided I'd better hurry. One of them was to write an email to a friend in France, supposedly for a hotel in Nice, describing what you did so far and what your plans were.
Last line of the task was to "attach a photo from your travel and describe what's on it".  Somehow I immediately thought of a pair of socks hanging from a balcony railing.

I am not going to describe that in my homework, no.

In case you are wondering : I do possess a pair of very similar over-the-knee socks.
