forgetting and remembering

Since I forgot to take photos last night, I have remembered that I've been meaning to post this farewell to Nancy and Joe picture - they have upped sticks and gone back to America for ever since the journey here is proving difficult. Nancy wanted her picture taken with Alain (on the left) who as she says has served her wonderful coffee for 17 years.
They are already missed.

Back to last night; Sian and Kat and I went to the newly-reopened Cafe du Pont, a song of joy in our hearts. It was packed in the street, crowds of young persons smoking heavily so we ducked into the comparative shelter of the empty cafe. Delight. But not for long... we were followed, it filled up with underdressed persons and then the racketty music came on at a blast. By this time it was clear that the new proprieter was smoking behind the bar... on we went to the newly re-opened TyRex where Mike and Hilary joined us.

As Kat said, nothing has changed - same old, same old, thank heavens:)

Bit of a drizzle this morning, allelujia. The heat has knackered us all.
