Who, what, why, when, where, how

Survivor: re-started life x3 in just over a decade thanks to circs beyond my control.  More detail’s in the blog/my normblog profile (Norm’s blog is highly recommended.  My former name?  Part nickname, part combination of two awful puns = unfunny). This blog focuses mainly on the period I spent living in Nice thanks to an unexpected opportunity. It is all my own work, except of course where otherwise indicated. I witter about the arts, landscape and life in general, in search of the interesting, unusual and life-enhancing – sometimes succeessfully.  While I am as irritated by things as anybody, I rarely rant (lacking the requisite self-righteousness and mostly finding rage counter-productive). So when I do, it’s serious. Overall, I love humour more.  And France – it was very good to me; I am eternally grateful.
