Equilux?

In daylight, in the kitchen this morning, I lit the remains of the candles from our supper on Friday evening. Alerted by a friend in Navarra to this day just before the equinox, when there is equal light and dark (there's an explanation here), I was hoping for an image of natural light today, but the clouds have spoilt that idea!

Last night's performance by Pierre Peralta was a wonderful mix of songs, humour and tragedy in a mix of Occitan and French, very skilfully melted together so that anyone who didn't speak Occitan would understand everything (and most people here do understand it even if they don't speak it much), by a very talented young actor. To add to our enjoyment, just as we were about to have our apéritifs before the meal, my daughter texted me the result of the Six Nations match (Wales 30, England 3) and everyone at our table became honorary Welsh supporters as we celebrated. In fact most of them already were and some were in the group of friends who came to Wales with us on holiday a few years ago.
