Thursday 20. 08. 09 It has been a hot week here this week so have been swimming a lot in the sea (Sunday Marseillan), the river (Monday Leroque) and the lake (Yesterday Lac du Salagou). Have also been to see Good Morning England with Bill Nighy and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Amusing. We had Le Foire des Vins last Friday where all the local winegrowers show their wares. You buy a glass for 2 euros and then wander around the stalls tasting all the various varieties. Quite a pleasant way of spending a summer’s eve. Tuesday evening I went to see Les Femmes Savantes by Molière at the Theatre Verdure in Pezenas. I had read an English synopsis of the play so I understood the story but didn’t get much of the French which was in verse. The experience was rather like going to the opera. Today am back to the painting.
