The market in full

 Not overcrowded; only food and not much of that - but enough and many mates out and about.

Voila, Georges our Mayor Manque - the shocking election results have left the town un-leadered. We await the second round of the vote which is looking as if it'll happen at the end of June. Georges says the work is just piling up - hes worried, of course.

The election results were shaped by more than 50% absenteeism due to fears of the beastly virus - and the absence of the 30-odd Brits who can no longer vote. (Pause here to ponder if Dave and Nige, when they plotted Brexit over claret in the club, ever thought about the knock-on to a small French town...)

Here's Ann, radiant - her mama is out of hospital and home safely in her maison de retrait. So good to see her smiling again!!

 And Rose, always glam and (hopefully) plotting the party she'll have when we are allowed to meet again in clutches

 Peter G., doing the shopping while Nel (rather sensibly, given her health) waits in the car.  Everybody must take care - though it's so hard not to hug -

here below is Msr Linares who set up outside his tabac to sell the papers so people didn't have to go into a crowded shop -

 There were many other friends about but I was slow on the draw. Though I should report that Susan needs a pet, if anyone has an excess. And Kat is looking very good.

Here is my favorite pet, the adorable Tango, helping me cook lunch. Roast duck, vedg., steamed cabbage, asparagus, artichoke hearts -perfect.
