And could you explain what a C list party home is? Thi is culturally alien to me.. really...:)

A pleasure

You will be most welcome. You are on no list - and that is your advantage. Don't tell the Man from Lyons, because he will be jealous, but I will arrange some mythological blondes to meet you at Seutala and transport you to a place nearby that will turn you into the opposite of whatever you are: ie from genius to idiot or vice versa.

A C list party, ostensibly, is a place for celebrities with nothing to celebrate. Or cerebrate,  if you will.

You can't be me, I'm taken

Seriously. I expect you to inform me as to your arrival and program. I look forward to introducing you to my friends as 'Manual' - He's from Barthelona'.

Sure.. if the trip is confirmed, for sure you will know.

Hey!  Wait a minute!

kcurie gets "mythological blondes" and all I get is a research institute and a sauna?

(Darn physicists get ALL the perks.)

But the research institute and sauna are real. Isn't that what you're after?

I would have no reason to be jealous: the Great Ventriloquist came in person to pick me up at the airport...

By the way, do you still plan to come to France this summer? If so, could you let me know when? I'll be delighted to welcome you and your daughters and make them meet mine...

Mon ami, Frida has just been accepted to a term-long course in Aix-en-Provence starting in September. I shall be visiting at some point ;-)

Great! I was holding a conference in Aubagne today and I gather I'm going to work regularly in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in the following year.

BTW, my ex-companion was born in Aix-en-Provence, so my daughters have family there.
