changes

Only been in bed for three days and I wake to find the town transformed. Christmas decorations are in the street, some of them not the ones from previous years; this curious artwork has emerged near Roy and Jo's; and its really really cold. Frost on the tiles, ice on the puddles.  Given it ain't December yet, this is ominous.

LATER; it brightened up - here's the little Thursday market, dinky and a good source of organic fruit and vedg. Currently steeping little limes for a cordial.





and in the cafe Relais Occitan who should I find but Ann and Kieran. Kieran, as can be seen below, is sporting a splendid facial caterpillar. It seems that this occurs every November, in memory of a friend who lost his life to prostate cancer; he goes a -fundraising this month. Prepare for a whipround, folks.


Much talk of the virus that has hit me - it has been experienced by most. Ole-Bendick says he shook it off after 36 hours of near-death but then, he added,  he 'is not quite human.' Yerrrssss. Quite.
