in hiding

 Bruno and I shared pre-dinner oysters last night, the other guests being in hiding. We had Chez Charlie Lasagne, yum, salad and strawberries all with a dry muscadet. Worked well :)

Sunshining for the market... so far -

more abomination of d.

 Scene of former glories, The TyRex is gently rotting away. Sigh.

Since I'd collated all my tax figures yesterday and was insisting on a celebration lunch, we had to go to Quillan - where of course we visited our Tibetan friends. 

They seem to be doing well, barely an empty table. Really enjoyed our meal which was enlivened by the children playing in the street outside; a reminder of how simple life used to be. 

Apart from the exciting news about our frog - clearly finished with hibernation - and that me and our guest are preparing beds for the next wave of visitors, thats it!

Tout-la

 Great Tout-la Wednesday, featuring O-B's family in from Norway to check on him -  and him still blossoming. Plus Peter G turned up as well as the usual suspects. And new boy Richard, new persons Deidre and Russell and others... Missed Roy who was away collecting Jo from the airport so no Alan who is usually wheeled round by the ferociously fit Roy. Pete and Claire left for blighty so also absent.

Spot the Madso tribe!!!

the abomination of desolation

 

Here's le Healthy's terrace this morning... truly dismantled. Sad that another of Esperazas little treats has been lost - it looks very like TyRex today - 

Other news: The roof of the ex-Scottish Daves house is being redone.

Half of Esperazas glitterati are in Dublin for Kennys exhibition. The portrait of Mike, much admired, has been sold!
