Le mot du jour : “Long comme un jour sans pain”
Or, in English “as long as a day without bread”. That’s the feeling I had this morning when I entered the kitchen and realised there was no bread left for breakfast 😱
We use this expression when we want to talk about something that lasts for too long and is very boring or dreary.
“Ce trajet (journey) était long comme un jour sans pain !”
That tells you a lot about the importance of bread in French life 😀 Without it, life loses its flavours!
