Brian, Dave, Carla and myself at Le Lézard bleu, just before they returned to the States.

The boys prefer the cardboard boxes over the hand made cat houses!

Some of Don's art now adorning our wall.

Cat found wedged in tree stump.....
Fat chance...he escaped!



Zigzag cactus in flower again, heady honey scent fills the verandah as the flower opens at night.
I grew these egg plants from seed, waited and waited for them to reach a decent size....but they never did !

Replacement table and chairs, much lighter, easier access for moi....and the room looks more spacious!

We also bought a carpet at Emmaus...maybe too good for catching burning ashes?
Only cost 15euros, but I think its wool....
