Action packed

-and there was me thinking nothing was going on
hereabouts. I'm sure PeterG won't mind me writing
about his experience yesterday evening.

He was cooking dinner with his shutters open
onto the street when he noticed that the new
neighbours opposite him had their shutters open too;
and that an 18 year old girl was taking her clothes off.

Having stripped, she stood on the table. He didn't
want to pay too much attention because he was
busy preparing a meal, but there were two other
women present and they enacted something he
didn't understand. Clearly they had no objection to
being observed or they'd have closed the shutters
or at least switched off the light. Anyway, ask Peter
for further details.

As if that wasn't enough excitement, we (Claudine, PeterG
et moi) went to eat at the Alet-les-Bains Casino tonight.
(Stephen has the rhume and couldn't come)I had my first
glass of wine for a week - delicious- and won loadsadosh.
I put most of it back but still came out with 30 euros more
than I went in with - had to drink a beer to calm down.

Claudine, however, won 300 euros. Well done that girl!
I'm watching her from now on.

Last night, walking under the very gravid moon, PeterB
and Annie and I saw a spectacular shooting star. The zingy
lines steaming behind it had little stars of their own, coming
off them; it disappeared over Mont Marot. Like a very classy
firework.

So I'm waiting to hear of the death of Kings, whilst having an
early night to get over the beer and the wine. Not used to this.
