Fine dinning

Gillie sent this lovely photo to my machine last night, in the middle of Norberts birthday dinner at La Creperie - she and Alain clearly had the moules :) - and it reminded me how scatty I'm getting with the snaps. Totally forgot lunch with Richard and Alison, Max and Andy at ours on Thursday.

But here is rather an interesting pic featuring Max's arm,Ole-Bendik, Norbert, Tim, Louise, Alain and Susan -

-and Andy, Mike and Roy. I was massively engaged with laughing too much and didn't get round to everyone, but the tribe were out and what a pleasure it is to be comfortable and at ease with old familiar mates.

 Creperie packed: Candy has a new haircut: food was good (boudin noir and apple, salidou and banana in my case) Much talk of the war, alas. We all have friends in the Ukraine or in Russia or both and the news is shocking. Can think of nothing to do except a prayer vigil and thats not much good with this pile of atheists. Helplessness is hard to bear. 

*May great love and compassion be visited on all beings.*
