This is a three kiss part of France and it can take some time to work your way round a table of friends, three kisses at a time

Never keep a single pig, we are told, right at the beginning. Always two at least; more if you like. A pig needs company, stimulation, interaction. A pig needs to be part of a herd. A drift of pigs, it was called, in the middle ages.

We want to kill the pigs close to the house - we'll need access to water and heat, tools, YouTube.

"The daily interaction with the pigs & the land they're inhabiting has become like an extended meditation, each moment, each experience incubating the next, serenely but certainly; it's allowed me to place myself in time...I remember when it started & I know when it's going to end. It's going to end with the death of pigs."

Thorny and awkward issue, the number of kisses to exchange - having a cold is a convenient excuse to avoid the embarrassement.

Nice one! seems like the new EU initiative to 'go' for multiple persons when having a 'shower' , 'kissing' , 'sleeping' , etc has coverage in more places. 3 kisses at a time is just another way to demonstrate the energetic solidarity!
there is a website called combien de bises which gives guidance on this question - if you are in Francethe rest of the world is lagging behind it seems, Judas might say that once is enough if you do it right ;)

Ahh, a good tip, thanks!! :) of course I was not aware of that website, so far I haven't been to France (savage of me, lol)
if I recall properly when saying hello we usually place one kiss, it seems around my place we are more familiar with Judas, so we do it rightly in one shot :D
