A perfect start to another lovely day in Glasgow. Fruit salad with yogurt and maple syrup for breakfast with Michelle in the sun at our dining table – followed by a session at the gym, while Michelle left to play the course at Gleneagles. She was very excited. For those of you not really into golf, Gleneagles is one of the “good” ones!

I’m just back from the cinema where i saw “The Other side of the Bed“. It’s a spanish comedy come musical – a little bizarre but enjoyable enough in a very light comedic way. I’m not sure that it deserves all the awards it has garnered at Spanish festivals though, but there you go, what do I know?. The actors are more like models and the singing is not so good, but it does give it a kind of realish quality about it. Sort of. Anyone else seen it? What did you think??

Tonight i’m off to my photography course. I’m speeding towards the finish of this course, and still without 4 *good* photos to hand in. I have plenty of shots to choose from but none of them are any better than ok. I never imagined black and white photography was as difficult as this. I thought that it was just as simple to take pretty pictures in b & w as it is with a digital or regular 35mm colour film. But it’s not. It’s a whole new medium. One that I’m struggling with. C’est la vie. I have a couple of nice portraits of Steph, Michelle and Moselle (Milene’s little girl) which I am trying to improve on – I’ll scan them when I’m done and you can see for yourselves.

I’ll leave you today with a picture of my favorite fountain in Paris. It’s just next to the Pompideau Centre in Beaubourg. 15 years ago I used to take a book to read by it, just as I did this year. Some things never change do they!

P.S. Bonne Fete Mme. Richard, je vous souhaite une annee merveilleuse!
