Interlude

Pack out was a nightmare but it’s done. I wisely went to the vet and got some drugs for Jessie and so she had a very laid back train trip from Stuttgart to Sens.

I-do-not-understand what happens when I put my camera on automatic and all the pictures come out dark! I had to “auto fix” with photoshop which is not really satisfying and in this case was unfortunate because I had roquefort mussels and Bavarian ribs with M. Parret, Chantal and Tonio. I air freighted my tripod to the U.S. and thought I would be able to use Jade’s that’s here in the Sens house but the thing attached to my camera that usually fits onto the tripod is not the right shape and won’t fit Jade’s tripod, so I put my camera on automatic to reduce the blur. Dark! So that’s why. Bloody automatic. I love cursing in British English :D

The roquefort mussels were fabulous! Too bad you can’t really see them. So fake! I had to put the brightness on to above 100. Boo hoo hoo :)

These fresh garden tomatoes look like something you would find on a puzzle piece. Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

These pictures are not Roger Stowell’s fault. He’s probably going to pretend he didn’t see this post :D Shaking his head and writing an e-book entitled “Why Rosemary Can’t Learn.” I give up!
