Le weekend

 Yesterday took tea with Philip and family; here he is driven out of his house to smoke his pipe in peace :) They are back to Copenhagen on Weds., Julie his daughter to Barcelona, too short a visit as they all have jobs to go to. Philip held us fasciated talking about the challenges that librarians face today, oh la la la la. Don't envy him.

Today being Sunday was the market of course and as always a laugh. But not for long. Vide greniers abound. Here is the one at Alet-les-bains which I'm surprised to report was almost as good as Esperazas, traditionally the best in the haute vallee. No dealers, just cheap old household tat. And yes, I bought lots. Spent nearly 5 euros.

Went onto the Rouvanac vide grenier but didn't get a thing. Met several friends which was fun though.

We have 5 artist visitors at home now, we are leaving them alone to get on with the art while we do mundane stuff. Nice.
