Philippe Ripo RIP

Terribly sad to hear that Philippe has died. He's fought serious illness for so long that one assumed he would live forever but alas, not so. He and Thierry managed many extra years together due to modern medicine - which is something to be glad about.
The photo shows Philippe at his exhibition at Carmens, yonks ago. Philippe enjoyed painting money in ways that raised questions about its use and validity. He was witty and talented and despite his health always willing to put on a brave face.

Much love to Thierry and to Philippes' family. He'll be missed - and not forgotten.
💔

Probably an inappropriate time to show the funeral parlour here in Esperaza getting a new roof but I'm sure Philippe would find it funny... its clear from the snap, taken this morning, that town is quiet. This is because the Gillets Jaunes protesters have restricted road traffic. 
Poor Alain at the 8a8 has had no deliveries and stocks are getting low. No eggs, but enough stuff to keep a small community from starving.

It's cold and wet and dark and November. Time to party :)
