last night - and todays news

Richard and Eva being back from their wanderings, we arranged to meet at l'Authentique. Suspecting it may not be open - erratic hours, plus Armistace Day - I prepared a back-up, a fougasse baked with chorizo by Victor in the Rue Victor Hugo. Lots of mustard and a bottle of red; nice.

The Authentique was closed and the dog stole the fougasse.

Mercifully TyRex was open and welcoming and we had a decent meal there (though their prices have escalated.)

Todays' news, gleaned from several points in the market; Nightingale has had her baby, prematurely but well. Hurrah!! She's called Ailhe, pronounced like halloween without the H or the N. All the best to Night - congratulations and much joy :)

Only other news is that Richard Sedgewick is facilitating a course on forging. That's blacksmithery, BTW, not doing other peoples paintings. Details to follow.
