Riviera Woman airbrush shock

A Corollary to the Law Of Sod is that when buttered toast falls to the floor, the amount of butter attached rises in direct co-relation to the value of the carpet that it falls on. This was true of the buttered toast yesterday morning, which managed to land on the one valuable (and rather small) mat that we have in the house, something we brought back from Marrakech a few years ago and so the day did not start well.

A little later I was “treated” to an early viewing of The Riviera Woman chatroom piece in which I managed narrowly to avoid the trap that was laid for me. Graham Trott, who after horsing about making videos for http://www.therivierawoman.com/index.php?module=chatroom&page=getLong&id=16, the latest of which features yours truly arguing that multi tasking does not exist. He has done sterling work and the editing has not overly favoured the “wimmin”. He has recently set up a new venture; The Business Card Club. There you can register your business card or website or whatever you want for a public profile for free. He is lucky I am being so generous as he has clearly airbrushed in a stomach I simply don’t have, into the piece but I guess without it such artistic licence toning down the overt charm I possess, I could expect a host of casting directors to be in hot pursuit. Perhaps that was what he was thinking, so he gets the benefit of the doubt..

I have come across a company locally offering the chance to hire big bikes like Ducatti’s on a daily basis. They are called Columbus International. Of course it helps that they are customers of Currencies Direct, so anyone who wants to promote a business around here need only to become a customer to receive free advertising in this daily missive. Estate agents, please take note.

My first picture today is another taken from the Festival St Blaise on Sunday, another sartorial triumph. I do hope Mr Humphries (if he is free) will take note

Not quite sure what is going on here, but I think Mr Humphries must have had some influence

The second picture is of that nice lady decorator appearing to take a nap in the madness of the festival, or perhaps she is ducking the silly string and confetti which arrived in profusion in my wine;

awake or asleep....whatever the conclusion I am now in trouble

As you can see it was a ribald affair but all that drinking and partying is now firmly behind me as I recommence the challenge to reinstate that whippet like stature that is my hallmark.

However, if it dawns bright and sunny this morning then we will take off for Greoliere Les Neiges and a little skiing, and certainly no lunch….well until later, or until my determination evaporates.
