A few random photos: Ali upstairs with Mitzi; having lunch ar the Chinese place. Matthew, Michael, me, Luis, Michael McAndrew; around Can Carbo; a rather deserted no 2 High St, Gariguella.; and some birds. |

Mitzi and Gaston are a cat and a dog. They live at Can Carbo and I had a photo session with them while I was waiting for Michael to bring vital equipment from the hardware store. Mitzi, the cat, is a new arrrival and Gaston is jealous of her. He is not allowed to bully her. Ooma, the other dog, was sulking in the dressing room. Later I got some photos of her eating old palm fronds. |
|
 |
On the Wednesday after the party I went to Can Carbo. I will be based there for the next few months helping Michael get the place ready. Its very cold at night so Michael gave me his mother's nightie to wear. At the weekend we had brunch with Matt and Anat in a remote cottage. We had a walk in the hills and found a haunted house. Michael said that the view was fantastic about ten times. True, but he didn't need to say it so often. In the evening we went to Barcelona for R&R. We found a bar there called Bonobo Concepto. Fabrice the barman was lovely. Luis the gay builder is also pictured. |
