social secretary needed -

Its been brought to my attention that some of my dear friends
believed themselves to be not invited to Friday nights events.

There is a good reason for this; my incompetence.

I did an email list which didn't work - I never understand
the bloody things - so I sent the invites one by one through
someone else's account.

This means there were various opportunities for failure.
So if you didn't get an invite its my fault and I'm very
sorry but there will be others unless liver failure gets us first.

independance day party

Words fail in the face of so much, erm...
but thanks everyone for making the party
such fun.

vernissage at the Casino Alet les Bains, 4th July

Thanks to Philippe of the Casino for lathering me and guests in booze and food - very nice indeed and a smashing party despite the heat. Anyone want a portrait done???

Poo arrives

carca massacre statistic

It seems that the elfish Sarko has been planning army budget cuts of 17%.
17 people were shot with live ammo in a mock hostage demonstration by the army.
Weird, eh?

soirée impec

The Ullabendix exchange an intimate moment during last
nights revels - which were wonderful -

Scottish Dave is back

Sorry Dave - you were right about the photo being shite...

I have spared your blushes by putting up a photo of
Phillipe's dog (cross between English bulldog and saber
toothed tiger) instead.

More good news, apart from Daves family being back in town,
is that the Café de la Gare is doing fantastic proper delicious good
food very cheaply and are serving it outside on the ex-boules court.
Difficult to imagine they'll be able to sustain last nights standard
for much longer - they're exhausted already -so get there sooner
rather than later.

All of which is by way of avoiding mentioning the terrible catastrophe
in Carcassonne, apart from Sarko the Elfs visit. The latest is that the
shooting of 17 innocent bystanders by the army was an error. Well, yes.
But now its official. Phew.
