Once in a lifetime...

you wait a lifetime for a shot and when the occasion arrives can't get the camera out. Here it is, on the back of an envelope. 

 Last nights moon eclipse was another non-event... clouds partially obscured it, so it arrived in patches with added effects. Charming if unorthodox. 

Here's a non-bench... anyone know why there is no bench in the little park in Rue des Jardins?

Anyone eaten at ex-Healthy yet? Coffee on Sunday was good though the pain au chocolate not from the bakers -! still, it hit the spot. What was alarming was the American flag on display by the till - anyone know what that's about? Trump coming to town??  Guillaume will know, will report back.

Now to forthcoming excitements. The Festival of Hats is on Saturday and with luck will establish a regular annual knee-up; it starts at 10.00 am with free visits around the museum, and they'll continue through out the day. If you don't know the museum, this is good chance to get in there. It's fascinating. (Behind the dinosaur museum same entrance but hang a right. It will be signed)

There's a hat fashion show between 11.00 and 12.00, food and drinks afterwards and a chance to be snaped in a hat, from 2.00 till 3.00 a hat design competition and from 3.00 till 9.00pm live music and a disco so you and yours can dance. 

I've already designed my hat though not sure that it is structurally sound. You've got a few days to get yours sorted, see you there!
