Busy week

Despite complete lack of photographic evidence,
its been a busy week.
Fed Philippe and Theirry, Ullabendick and Aileen
-who were massively entertaining-; said a sad farewell
to Iain; a glad hello to Pete, and a bit of a late birthday
dinner; bought a house and got on the committee of the
MJC. Have not finished several paintings and have not
opened the door to trick or treaters because they
frighten me.
Its the day of the dead tomorrow and the town will trip off
to the graveyard to put large pots of chrysanthemums on
the family plot. I was thinking of adopting one and doing
the same but probably wont bother...


Anyway, its dangerous out there.
Here is Christy running from a Dinosaur.
Its OK, she escaped; she and Mark are back in San Francisco.

lost and found

Thanks to Leigh, our boys have been found -
here is Steve in Edinburgh with Leigh, and

outside his restaurant -

and Jezza, comme d'hab!

sunday fest

Steve in Montazel gave the Captian, Kat and me a truly fabulous
lunch - the most upmarket chicken and chips ever - and chocolate
cake (gluten free) to die for, plus chocolates from Claudio
that are a kind of Socratic notion of the absolute chocolate,
at least to my mind.
We stumbled off, waddling, in time for dinner with Vic and Mary.
The plan was a light supper at the Café de la Gare. We ordered
one course and hey! Our friend the chef decided to give us a french
tureen full of soupe noix St Jaques. Delicious, remarkable, followed
by maigre de canard perfecto.
Alas, I should not have had seconds of everything and all
those chocolates at Steves.

Trade Mark and Princess leave

Trade Mark and his bride, Princess frilly pants,
came to Tilling for their honeymoon, fresh from
working at Burning Man. See the lovely new site,
http://evolution-control.com
They left today for Munich.

Heres hoping they come back very soon.


Here is Mark admiring the church at Rennes les Chateau.
Christy got chased by a dinosaur but the photo is missing -
has anyone got a copy?

le vrais success

The jumble sale was rather like garden party
except that the art group is now out of debt and
perhaps can afford sessions with two models....

le vrai jumble sale anglais

le vrai jumble sale anglais is tomorrow - Saturday -
at 2.00, at Kats place in the impasse Victor Hugo,
behind Héléne Martys which is up from Chez Charlie.
Everything is 50 cents! Bring stuff, buy stuff, have a
cup of tea! All welcome!
All proceeds to the drawing group who forgot to pay
last years dues to the MJC.

At Iains without Steve

It was brill to be back chez Iain and Steve and a gourmands
delight - but Steve! Where are you? Apart from elsewhere,
having a good time - do come back soon and visit. You are
missed, sorely.

Iain, notwithstanding, was a perfect host and we had an
hysterical evening. Merci, Jeune Homme!
