Dear BBC America, I adore you but casting Helena Bonham Carter to play Elizabeth Taylor is a bit of a stretch I have to say.
Patrick James Dunn Disagree
completely! I've been in love with Helena ever since Room With a View!
In fact, we are having tea at the Ritz shortly after we arrive in London
in July. Furthermore, she will probably come for the weekend in
Cornwall, in August, but not when you are there, Tinsel Town, since you
feel the way you do about her latest casting. We spit on your
treatment!!!l
Hi Mick!
Great playing bridge on Tuesday. Trust walk home was not too, too hard on your new knee. Bit of a busy day yesterday, shopping at Costco, (Bumped into Ted, with his youngest daughter's, (Laura's), prospective father-in-law, Alex, (from Mornington Peninsula so you and Ted have Oz in common!), buying a heavily laden dolly's worth of provisions for coming wedding this Saturday at Olympic Village, Creekside CC!), readying our place for the arrival of Cora Lee's sister, Patti, and brother-in-law, Gavin, who arrived from Shanghai at 1:00pm. Did a few errands on my bike after we returned from airport and then we sat on deck and finally enjoyed the wonderful weather. Really one of the first times we've been able to sit outside without sweaters and blankets and hot water bottles!
All this by
way of saying that Coriandre finally mentioned that you had called and
were interested in Languedoc. Delighted, of course! Have attached
brochure and rates. As I have mentioned to others, I
have rented Beau Soleil, the property in Languedoc, for the month of
September. I will pay deposit, (€250), to owner, (He lives in
Vancouver.), before we leave in July. I'm planning to arrive in
Neffiès
on September 1st.
Since place is able to accommodate up to 10 people, (Three bedrooms,
loft, couches, etc., but I don't expect that many at any one time,
however), what I plan to do is to figure out costs,
(based on €1300/month), and work out a rough daily/weekly cost once I
know who is coming and when. Basic, overall rate is about €44/night so
depending on occupancy that could drop even lower, excluding €50/per
person cleaning/laundry charge, regardless of
length of stay.
You are also welcome to visit us in Cornwall as well. We are there for month of August, house exchange. We are meeting Flamin' and Sarge, and two other couples, in Agen, about three hours away from Neffiès, on September 28th, to start our two week Canal du Midi boat cruise. If you decided to come to France towards the end of September you are welcome to stay for last two days even though we won't be there. Just a thought.
Cora
Lee will be in Italy until about the 20th, with some of her Book Club
Sisterhood so she will only be
able to spend one week in Neffiès. As I believe was mentioned on
Tuesday, Whirlygig and Robo Man, are
still "toying" with the idea of joining the Nubile Swedish Masseuse
South of France Seminar for Tired Cyclists. Anyway, take a look and let
me know what you
think and if keen to have your knee massaged, I'll book you and
Duplicate Polly in! Cheers, Il Conduttore!
PS: I have a couple of Wine Tour: Handbook to BC directories so you are welcome to them. I can pop them by sometime or bring them to bridge night next week and we can go over some of our favourite spots, some of which I mentioned on Tuesday evening.
Hi Pat,

Welcome to the world ASAS!!!!! Or baby Sutherland!!! ❤❤❤
Cora
Lee did some truly delicious lamb ribs and chops on bbq, along with
brown rice mixed with rice/feta and mint, pan fried cherry tomatoes and a
mixed bean salad, "boughten" but still very tasty, from Costco. Fresh
raspberries with ice cream and gluten-free macaroons, vanilla and
chocolat, for dessert. Gavin and I started out the evening with a some
hefty snorts of Laphroaig Triple Wood, 48%, so we didn't really notice
or pay attention to the Gatling gun bursts of disapproving looks and
comments from the assembled Sisterhood, literally!

Hi Pat,
Hope all is well, That was fun at the tasting the other night and thanks once again for the delicious nibblies beforehand. I thought you might be interested in this BCAA service that I just
became aware of. I’m not sure if you’re a member but if so this is an
added benefit. We should talk about next weekend and when you guys feel
like coming up. just to let you know that the
trek from Hope to the Sunshine Valley is about 21 k. but about 6 k. is
at an 8% grade so...I’ve sent the link for google maps below.
