Wednesday 29. 04. 15 George and Laurene decided to give me an art day for my Christmas present so today we drove to Serignan to the MRAC where we saw an intriguing expo called Le musée des erreurs: Barnum. Afterwards we went on to a delicious lunch in Narbonne followed by a visit to another gallery, privately run, called LAC. We had been there before but this time it was a disappointment but the the space is stunning.

Spring encore
Sunday 12. 04. 15 After a good night’s sleep I reconnected the battery for the scooter and was amazed that it started first time after 4 months! It was warm and sunny so took a drive around the lake. The landscape was blooming, wild irises, gorse and broom, leaves on the trees, wonderful. The smell of the broom was intoxicating. it is good to be back.

Stuck!
Wednesday 08. 04. 15 Went to the airport yesterday to fly home and discovered that there was a flight controllers strike and that all flights to Montpellier were cancelled! Vive la France! Rebooked for friday in the hope that all will be back to normal by then. So today went to an interesting show of videos at the Power Plant. The videos on Stuart Hall and Patrice Lumumba were particularly good.

Monday 06. 04. 15 I saw Geoff and Sandy last week and Geoff showed me this painting that he had done for his parents. It is in the style of Andrei Rublev a Russian iconographer. The main three figures are his grandfather, Geoff and his Dad with Geoff’s son in the top left hand corner playing soccer. It is hard to see from the photo but there are loads of icons buried within the painting and there are also pieces of text. It is brilliant!!
