The attractions of Avignon continue. The weather is still very hot and about 34 degrees. Abde was busy painting and doing up Justine's interior rooms so they are undergoing a transformation. He has also plastered the bathroom and the hallway and cleaned out the pool.
We spent a lot of Tuesday hanging out at home, watching Abde work while sipping tea on the outdoor courtyard and discussing what might be a good show to go to.
By the time decisions were made there were no tickets left for that one but we did manage to get seats for Monsieur Choufleuri,a French farce deemed to be suitable for non speaking French persons to enjoy.
We sorted out my train tickets to get to the airport on Wednesday and then had a wander around some of the festival displays.
One installation captured my interest. It was a requiem to the lost sock. Everybody has them!!! They even had a sack hanging at the bottom corner for donations to re-unite the lucky ones.
Anyway the play was great .I could understand little as it was all in French but it followed the farce format so you knew the goodies and the baddies and the father rejecting the suitor etc but what was so good was the music and acting.A top performance and very skilled, a delight to watch.
Justine had a friend, Max coming for dinner so we had Quiche Lorraine, a very French dish and Justine made a cherry dish, Choulet I think it might be so again we ate well and talked until late.
Max is an interesting young woman, once married to a Morrocan but now single with a very handsome son,Swan who was also captivated by Pokemon.I see a cartoon in the ODT so it must be the craze at home too.Max is American but schooled in France and she and Justine are going to run English speaking classes in the new term.
