Warm, gorgeous weather this week. Summer reading continues with Alan Furst's "Foreign Correspondent". Just about halfway through book. Tough to put down. Way the man writes makes you care about the characters. Italian emigrés in 1930s France. Settings are authentic, well-researched. Author has lived in France, knows Paris well, all the arrondissements, the bistros "Chez this" and "Mére that". Highly recommend. A while since I had a good page-turner keep me up into the small hours.

And added to the enjoyment of a darn good read -- the heady perfume of star jasmine carried into the room on a light summer breeze.
A compendium of images - most original, some not - words, and links, sometimes musical, gathered for the exclusive enjoyment of friends and relatives, some old, and some new.
