arrivals

 Kat and Roland are back, hurrah! from their Marseilles holiday. Train strike forced them onto buses and all is well.
My brother-in-law John arrived on Monday and here he is, bonding with Rico.Without much enthusiasm. Rico of the big beak needs handling with caution.

Went to visit Andree at the Maison de Retrait in Limoux in the morning - she was on top form, nearly over the bronchitis, acerbic and drole as ever. Sends love to all.

La Pierre Lys

Steve took me and Kat to dinner last night at Pierre Lys - excellent, really excellent, as ever - have some amusing photos of Kat eating the langues de chat (that came with our lime, apricot and blanquette-soaked sorbet coup) but they're obscene.


Steve leaves tomorrow. Phil and Lily are here another week.

Dieting starts some other time.
