Maggi drops in briefly between her volunteer visiting and collecting some take away food from the little restaurant across the road from us which specialises in, among other things, rabbit stifado. Get to pass on the Ian Rankin book we’ve recently finished.
BBC Radio news full of speculation, headlined as fact, that the Bayeux Tapestry is to be lent to the UK for display. Announcement slightly premature, as followed by “Macron is expected to announce....” But more to the point an assessment of the nearly thousand year old tapestry’s fitness for surviving a move must take place, so speculation is that the loan is likely to be five years or so away. Does make me think it would be worth visiting in France some time in the nearer future. Almost all announcers pronounce Bayeux as if it were a Louisiana bayou, which I have to admit to having accepted myself in the past, although clearly, thinking in French and not southern US, the first syllable is Ba, not Bay, and the accent is on the second syllable. The eyes have it.
