sommes arrived and it is just as beautiful as before. View from the kitchen
This could be JP’s starter painting.
Nothing of note on the way over besides the hideously
uncomfortable seats for sleeping, being awoken at 1:30 for breakfast and a 2
hour wait on the tarmac in Paris for a replacement part of some kind. Duly noted, and POOUFF, gone. The sunrise was
beautiful and we saw the Eiffel tower.
JP brought a
painter’s umbrella on a long hollow shaft with a sharp point for being rammed
into the ground. He had put one of those tiny bourbon bottles (empty) over the
point to protect the carrier. It caused great
interest on both sides of the Atlantic but made it through eventually.
We bought sausage, cheeses, wine and bread on the way. The
concierge had brought us ham, bread and eggs so we are set. We went to bed at 4PM and were wide awake
11-3.
Random notes: My French is still execrable and mostly
Spanish. Odd since I didn’t do a lick of
work on it. There is WIFI here now though intermittent. There is a whole new shelf of trash books to
read and contribute to. JP has stopped figuring out the electronics around here
and is sorting his paints on this 30 foot table. It’s a beautiful hazy/sunny day with a brisk
wind, new green fields, birds singing, the three horses below the window
munching and snuffling and a great quiet.
Sorry, but I’ve got to get back to doing damn nothing.
