My WordPress is acting up! HELP!

Well, tonight my WordPress did not open and I was told “this page cannot be accessed” or something like that and so I’m late and I’m sorry.  But I’m be back tomorrow in proper blog form, I hope.

Meanwhile, here is a petanque player getting ready to pointer, or roll the ball to get near to a smaller ball called the cochonnet, or little pig.  You throw your heavy metal balls to get close to him/her (haha) and some players do it with a roll and some do it with a throw, tirer, to knock the opponent’s balls away from the cochonnet.

The little pig is the tiny spot in the middle of the photo with balls all around it.

Some of these guys and gals, too, are really incredible to watch.  They can place their ball so perfectly that it knocks THREE balls out of the way of the little pig and leaves THEIR OWN BALL right next to the little pig instead.

Amazing.

I tried to play once but I couldn’t even PUSH the balls around.

So I took a nap.
