1.9.20: Gosh, isn't the year going quickly? Here we are entering the last quarter with the sun lower in the sky, shorter days and the fledgling swallows getting ready to head off. Storks have been sighted making their way south. Life certainly doesn't stand still.
Another trip to Perpignan for another routine appointment and again, it was all clear. Ann kindly took me there so this time I didn't have to rely on public transport. It's always a relief to get an "all clear" which was all the excuse I needed, to join Lone, my Danish friend, at the bar for a glass of rosé. On arrival, she was there already in the company of Roger and 3 of his family. We stayed on for a couple more glasses after they had left to make the most of the time Lone has left here. Given the Danish Government had just brought in the need to quarantine, her husband had decided not to come and join her so she was cutting short her stay. Shame but that's the way that holiday plans are going for lots of people at the moment.
2.9.20: Back again to Perpignan; this time for pleasure and another exhibition. The anuual Visa exhibition of photo journalism despite the Covid restrictions, was taking place, albeit in a much reduced form. There were several live exhibitions, of course the "Off" in commercial pemises and a lot of online content. https://www.visapourlimage.com/en https://www.visapourlimage.com/en Needless to say there was a lot of walking involved and a head full of hard to see images and hard to read stories. The photo is from an exhibition about the Mohara people from the Indus Valley where their river based way of life is fast disappearing due to pollution destroying the ecosystem. We did, however, have a welcome and much needed break for lunch sitting in a small square where thankfully there was some shade. The little dining room was very kitch and retro. More like someone's front room. Food tasty, too. Will definitely return https://www.facebook.com/MartineCuisinePerpignan/
Weather: Very warm and sunny 28°
