20. 03. 09 Friday. It has been a busy week. On Monday started painting en plein air at George and Lawrene’s house and then did another small painting in the woods en route to Liauson Friday afternoon. Went to my engraving class on Tuesday but battery on the scooter was flat after the class. Managed to get a ride back into town with Claude but had to get the tow truck out there on Wednesday morning. Quite impressive service, rang for truck from Pezenas at 9 and was in Octon by 10. Of course as soon as we got there Alex managed to start the scooter!!! C’est toujours comme ça! I drove back with him to Pezenas where they changed the battery for me and off I went again. Yet another opportunity for improving my French vocabulary!! Apparently I can also get the towage fee back from my insurance. Thursday I started my life drawing class also at Octon in the evening. Drove there with Jonathan and met Rania and had a coffee before class. Good class, very informal group which just shares the cost of the model.
