I was well enough to go last night to our new neighbours for a, well we were not too sure what. We were invited for 8pm and we appeared to be invited to a "mini spectacle" All the family got ourselves spruced up in best shorts and went over the road wondering what to expect. There was only us invited and one of the young people's friends. We had chairs arranged in a semi circle in the traditional courtyard of a farmhouse. Two young people, one girl playing the cello and a young rather handsome actor gave us a rendition of " Autobiography of a radiator" written by Christian Bobin with musical accompaniment. It was totally charming and not at all pretentious. The couple are from Marseille and play at events around the country, last year being in the Festival at Aix. Malc said it reminded him of an " Edinburgh fringe" event. Even our girls who only had the odd word of French enjoyed it. Afterwards we laughed about their story of Bonny our golden retriever making a visit last week to steal Kenza's ( their dogs) food. She found her food bag, eat the lot and ended up with the bag stuck on her head wandering round the yard bumping into things. Funny though it was I must buy them another bag to replace it. It must have been the night I thought Bonny was ill as she did not want her tea!
