With his knee problems, it's not an easy excursion, but the fact that he has got back into the walking act is good news. I suspect, too, that Dédé appreciates the possibility of being able to chat with somebody other than his dear Madeleine. I'm not suggesting that Madeleine is not an excellent conversationalist. On the contrary, I think it's her favorite activity, and she's a prolific talker. When Madeleine and I start chatting together, for example, it soon becomes quite difficult for one or other of us to get a word in edgewise, as the saying goes. But I would imagine that Dédé likes to have a change of voice from time to time.

Dédé back on the road
A few days ago, I was happily surprised to find that my neighbor Dédé had strolled up to Gamone on foot, like at old times.

We have a good friend who visits for coffee nearly every Monday at 10.00 am-ish.
ReplyDeleteHis visits break the dialogue between Jim and me, adding a third voice. Also he shares his research and knowledge of internet marketing.
He and his family are moving north to Sawtell next month. We will miss him very much.
