Hoped
to get lots of work done this morning but constantly interrupted by
Gertrude's hysterical honking. I managed to revise the first two
chapters of the Toby story; still think there are a lot more changes
to be made. Sent the revisions to Laura just before 2.00 pm. Have to
wait and see what she says.
Gertrude
seems intent on terrorising Coco but the cat doesn't seem to be
bothered at all; just sits twitching his tail with eyes fixed on his
prey. Gave Gertrude a bowl of cereal which she snorted up happily. No
idea what I'm going to tell Jean-Luc. Does he really imagine I could
kill her? I could tell him she's escaped, I suppose.
I
noticed a unusual butterfly this morning near my front door;
beautiful colours. Wanted to take some photos of it but just
remembered my camera's broken. I found a picture in the internet
which looks very similar, but there wasn't any information about it.
Played
a few jazz pieces this evening. Think the piano needs tuning; too
expensive to do anything about it at the moment. Might include Smoke
Gets in Your Eyes
to my pad next time I play at the restaurant. Pleased with the way it
sounds. Always liked the version Roxy Music did back in the
seventies. Funny to think that I was in Somerset at the time (trying
to make a living from painting watercolour landscapes -- must have
been mad). Should really get some of them out and put them up on the
wall; a bit of nostalgia (shame I sold most of the best ones).
Solange
came over and invited me to their firework celebrations tonight (see:
Feux
de la Saint Jean).
Forgot it was the Summer Solstice.
