Went
round to Karl's today to check on Gertrude. Funny to see her swimming
around the lake, she seems to be having a great time. Karl showed me
a rare chest of drawers he's working on which he picked it up for
fifty Euros at a house sale near Quimper. He told me the maker's name
but I can't remember now - must ask again when I see him. At some
stage it had been painted white. He's now removed half of it away and
the wood is a deep rich mahogany.
We
had a coffee in his old farmhouse kitchen and I mentioned about the
problems I'm having with my car. I also said about Laura having to
meet Laura in St Malo. He said he has to go to Dinan on that day to
pick up some furniture from a manoir and so he offered to drive me up
there if I didn't mind helping load up the van - so relieved.
Rodrigo
phoned this morning to arrange a band practice. He and Tatiana are
still living on the campsite. Can't be easy for them there; very
crowded in the summer. He's desperate for some gigs, even though he's
a very good drummer. Said he'll contact Ines and Alexander and try
and arrange an evening practice, over at Alexander's place. (He must
still have his kit there).
Spent
this evening looking at Laura's suggestions for the blurb. Sent her a
couple of e-mails. It'll be so much easier discussing things face to
face.
