Pleasant Suprise.....films books and peanuts

I'm posting here again for those who can't get the new Blogger blog to show on their computer.

Despite the threatening weather, most of us managed to meet up at the Hotel des Bains, unfortunately, the bar had been hijacked by a large group, thus leaving no place for us to chat. Notwithstanding this hindrance, we decided to try and find somewhere else to chat. Thankfully, we didn't have to go far, in fact the first bar we stumbled across fitted the bill perfectly, so much so, we'll be going there for now on.

First up, Anne presented the brand new ciné club that will be showing its first film, A Room with a View, Saturday 18th October, at 15hr, in the Mediathèque in Sanary. A friendly bilingual debate will follow.

The Indian Runner will be the second film to be shown on Saturday 15th November.

Now back to books and beer. Take six people (normally nine), all with different views and tastes and get them to agree in less than an hour on a reading list albeit till February, impossible you would think, well not us, we're an accommodating bunch of folks. To prove it, these books such keep you company through the dark winter months.

Kiss Kiss by Roald Dahl 7th November

Deaf Sentence by David Lodge 12th December (thanks Alain)
