The last few days have been grim, with cloud, rain, thunder &c., so I've been gently teaching Minnie the essential vocabulary needed for butterflying, using the same illogical mixture of French and English I used with Asha (she now knows 'au pied', 'viens', 'stay', 'assis', and 'go go go!'). She came with 'non!' built in, which is useful. It might be a little while before I can concentrate on photographing butterflies, even if the sun does shine, as I think it will pay dividends to use the early walks for her education; but she does seem to be a quick learner.
