London, Bordeaux
Sunday 27. 11. 16 Just back from a trip to Bordeaux where I saw Marie-Pierre and Olivier, the Dordogne where I stayed with Marie-Annick and Hervé and London where I met Carole, Julia and Daisy and saw Carol. Highlights were seeing M-A & H’s new house, the Kentridge show at the Whitechapel and the Kiefer show at the White Cube Bermondsey and of course the Christmas lights.
Remembrance Day
Saturday 12. 11. 16 It has been an odd few days. My laptop went into a deep sleep which left me with only my iPod and then the car has been temperamental, however I seem to be over this phase now and hopefully everything will continue to work. Yesterday went to the annual Remembrance Day ceremony here. Less people than last year.
Toussaints
