After adventures in the real world- back again in front of computer screen.Familar place

It was great seeing everyone again. L. looked fabulous and very Parisienne. Son,A,gorgeous as always. He's looking more and more like his Venezuelan father. Tells me he's going over to New York in May to see pappa and a few of his own friends that are there.

The cultcha was weird . Monica Bonvincini is supposed to be an award-winning multi-media installation artist. What we saw was great gaping holes in the plaster floor , This artist is certainly curious about the relationship between architecture, constructions and gender. Part of the exhibition was framed questionnaires filled in by construction workers in half a dozen languages. Questions like " Do you find buildings erotic ?" and " What is the most common word or phrase among construction workers ?"

There was also a noisy family there - a very tall man , short woman and their 2 year old toddler. The toddler tried to eat parts of the exhibition and ran around the place cheerfully , while tall dad gave a running commentary about the exhibits to someone on his mobile phone . In a way it added another dimension to the exibition .. they were everywhere .I've never seen 3 people take so much space. It was fascinating .

Afterwards my son took me out for an Indian meal and the King prawns Masala were to die for ! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

All in all a good day out ITRW . A good time was had by all.

Yep, has to be done sometimes .. have to venture out THERE ..IRW.

Off to meet son and son's ex girl friend and mum , both good friends of mine and extended family. L. flew in from Paris on Friday .. always fun to see her and son too. He's totally individuated and weened now. I've done my job well and can focus on my own life of naughtiness and seclusion.

A bit of cultcha
Will tell you all about it when I get back

Rosemary and bergamot in the burner during morning meditation.
Tangy soothing scent.
Painted a picture - whirls and twirls - overlapping lines of delicate purple petals .

Picked the Wheel of Fortune card and went inside
was taken to scenes from work and career.
After wandering around there for a while I asked
" hang on a bit .. what about romance and relationship ? "
I saw the wheel turn and as it did
clouds and mist
could not see clearly at all

Seems like my energy is on work.
Well that's ok I suppose
.. but its not the whole picture , is it ?

I'm investing in travel this year , rather than courses.
As the wheel turns
..... the 8th fold path
.. changes ....
meetings ..
oh yes ... that's lovely... I'm all for meetings
Stay in the NOW
The NOW is where the power is
Things come and go
Impermanence
The wheel of fortune is beckoning
Fortune .. good fortune .. I am so fortunate

Savouring the last few sips of wine before going to bed and curling up wit Paulo Coehlo , the book, that is , not the author.

Wish I had a bath tub to soak in .. candles ... lavender and bergamot bath salts ..would so enjoy a soak .

WHY people get rid of their bath tubs I'll never know . The people who lived here before me did . Idiots. Simpletons.Ah well .... back to the world of dreams.

night night .. it's been a lovely day. Thanks for the giggles exchanges and interactions .

OM MANe PADME HUM !

Brocolli , walnut and blue cheese quiche all done . Pie crust before the film started- pre baked during first commercial break and into the oven during second commerical break.

All done now. Will be nice for lunch tomorrow - rest can be frozen for instant meals during the week.Done this way it was is if it baked itself . Ingenious.

The Pizza was good too - not often that I have pizza - a real treat.
