Holiday season

 The town is on holiday, spookily quiet; though the little market is in the square this morning and the shops are open till noon. Better get a move on if you need anything...
 Last night - look!! - skyped with Ryan and Alecia and Etienne, who is now at school, playing football and chattering eloquently. They send love and are hoping to do a spring trip here.
Didn't manage to get Ryan in a decent shot but he's well too, working hard. His hair is growing back.

Yuri arrived last night so we sat up late catching up with the news from the frontline. International scholars do not have an easy life though they do have an interesting one.

And lo! Its Artists a Suivre time, when all the massive amounts of  year-long organisation pay off. The launch party was last night at Alet-les-bains and I couldn't go on account of waiting in to welcome some of the participants who are staying here; you'll be able to see then perform in Couiza on Friday night.
