My friend Laurent, that gorgeous red-haired block, came to visit
Eka & I beginning of August. We took walks on the Croisette in Cannes
but also on la Promenade des Anglais in Nice both located by the
shores. We went swimming and sunbathing by my pool in Antibes and of
course, spent a lot of evenings out having fun over a good meal and a
nice bottle of wine.
Just to mention a few, there was this Mexican food restaurant (Le
Ship in St Laurent du Var) where the Forces of Nature really gave us a
hard time. Some called it 'rough patch'!
The evening at the Sucrier in Antibes (outstanding French cuisine
restaurant) was also awesome. Stéphane (aka Steph or Sh), that bearded
blond-haired guy, had joined us for dinner and kept telling jokes
until we all burst out laughing so hard that we ended up spitting our
wine on the table cloth. Steph is a very special guy, with an odd
sense of humour that often runs me up the wall but I truly enjoy his
company despite all the distractions (practical jokes on how to pull
your wisdom teeth, how to make out with a fox…) that might come in
between.
We also got kicked out from a night club in Juan les Pins because
Laurent had trendy red snickers on. What do guys in clubs know about
fashion anyway? Laurent is always so slick and a man of good taste and
manners just as if he were to cast for a James Bond's movie. He is an
honorary Sean Connery; born '75, there is only one of him... (lyrics
taken with courtesy from R. Williams's song Kids in his great LP album
'Sing when you're winning'!).
