Very thoughtful. Great planning (and a very apropos accident.)

Brilliant! I'm glad so many are coming to dinner - and so well attired. However, Yvan has just suggested an excellent change. Dinner will now be

BACON!!!

....Portuguese, of course.

Oh good, I've never had Portuguese bacon.

It's sort of like Canadian Bacon, except square.

I'm in Paris, and have just had dinner, then a stroll along the canal St Martin. There's an apero tomorrow.

wow, it makes me happy knowing you're here ! i was thinking about you earlier, wondering what time you would arrive (and whether you brought a warm jacket, since it's freezing tonight).

Freezing? It's rather warm when compared to Wales. And it's not raining. I'm quite happy about the weather, and looking forward to seeing you and everyone else tomorrow.

further proof that everything is relative.

i'm glad you're happy about the weather ! you are right, at least it's not raining (although... we should probably stop saying that ! don't want to bring us bad luck you know).

can't wait for tomorrow !

I have a friend who is a strong advocate of lightroom -- it certainly seems very nice to use. Unfortunately, having played with PS all it really convinced me was that I needed to get the picture right when I take it....

Envious! Hope you have a great day and the weather holds. Here's hoping I make it over one day (and get to revisit that excellent Corsican place we found near the Marais, L'Alivi I think, and a wonderful fish place, pricey but good... Bistro du Dome?).

Just finished hiding some delphiniums from the slugs. We hope....

That does make it far easier!

I don't much like PS, but Lightroom is a different kettle of fish entirely (or maybe a blue kettle next to some fish...

)

It was. And due to a freak of biology, they couldn't complete the procedure, so I need to do the same prep in a week! Argh!

This time, I will make sure I have tasty clear liquids available - clear soup apparently counts

ShortNCuddlyAm · 04-17-2009, 06:13 PM

And as for what I'm doing right now - just got back from a yeti hunting expedition - and have a startlingly clear pic to prove it!

But sadly, for me makes the taking photos close to impossible...

Does wine? Cider? Whisky? (Any claims that I have a one-track mind will be studiously ignored.)

Anyway, sympathies. And I will assume any loud rumbles from a roughly London direction are attributable to thunder....

PROOF !!!!! AT LAST !!!!!

i like how he wears his name tag right on the pack, so there can be no doubt that it is, in fact, The Yeti.

And what do you do once you've caught your Yeti?

Feed it rice pudding?
