Hors la Loi

This director has made a couple of films to my knowledge about France and Algeria, this one, Hors la loi, which is about the FLN and the independence of Algeria from France, and his first Indigènes, which is about the north african French forces during the second world ware. Both of them are food for thought.

Ce que nous faisons...

Ce que je fais est plus important que ce que je ne fais pas!
Ce que tu fais est plus important que ce que tu ne fais pas!
Ce qu'il fait est plus important que ce qu'il ne fait pas!
Ce qu'elle fait est plus important que ce qu'elle ne fait pas!
Ce que nous faisons est plus important que ce que nous ne faisons pas!
Ce que vous faites est plus important que ce que vous ne faites pas!
et
Ce qu'ils font, est-il plus important que ce qu'ils ne font pas?

Statistics

After having uploaded the lovely spinning planet and seeing all the hits I was having I thought to myself that people other than myself were actually interested in what I had to say! After having looked at the statistics provided by blogger.com there is some incoherence in all of this! What is a hit, does that mean that someone has just flipped past my blog rather than stopping a while and reading it? I have to admit that it is not world breaking news. It is not very well written. But for a few weeks I thought that perhaps someone somewhere in that great wide expanse of the virtual world, people might be thinking about some of the things I say. I suppose it was a dream... then again shouldn't we all have dreams?

End of another summer!

Fade in with music from 'A summer place'...

An open road going to the south, the sea, the sand and the sun...

This was not exactly the beginning of my summer but not far from it!!

The round trip was about 6000 kilometres and we did and saw lots. It has taken me and us from Lyon (F), to  Montpellier (F), Sitges (E), Tarragonna (E), Cadaques (E), Perpignan (F), Marseillan (F), Cassis (F), Cannes (F), Grasse (F), Nice (F), Monaco, Menton(F), Milan (I), Bergamo (I), Briançon, Verona (I) (yes I doubled back there!), Gorizia (I), Ljubljana (SLO), Siofok (H), Budapest (H), Kekskemet (H), Budapest (H), Heviz (H), Zagreb (HR) , Krk (HR), Rijeka (HR), Opatija (HR), Trieste (I), Jesolo (I), Venice (I), Lago di Garda (I), Bergamo (I), Lyon (F).

I left on Monday 28th June and got back on Friday 27 August. Enjoyable but sometimes tiring it has been a good experience.
