Swimming in the pool...perhaps the ocean soon...

It was a gorgeous weekend for people (many had 4 days) and lots of people around....too many at our local market...glad I don't have to travel in the summer these days. We lounged around the pool and swam mostly but went to Aix en Provence Sunday and there was a great antique market on the main boulevard. Lots to look at and we found a Ricard corkscrew/bottle opener/knife so we were quite happy to get that. Went to our local flea market Sat and found 6 Pastis 51 glasses with the ribbed bottom...our favourite type so we were thrilled with that find.

I did two paintings with poppies and quite pleased with them...didn't think they were going to work but they did. Working on one now of the village square, fountain, bakery and the city hall....lots of fun solving all the problems.

Hard to believe we'll be home 3 weeks today. It will be nice to sleep in my own bed and have regular internet access and a phone that doesn't sound like a walkie talkie.
Of course, we are completely spoiled here with food but I will look forward to our local crab, halibut and chips, and wild sockeye salmon....and a juicy steak...
