What a swell party this is! (1)
Hurrah for another long weekend, with a day off on Monday to celebrate Pentecost.
What's new?
Beausoleil's Indian Star (previously Pallmyra), the best Indian restaurant in the neighbourhood is slowly transforming itself with new interior decoration reflecting its Asian cuisine. The Greek style mosaic has now been covered over.
Just opposite, the Langhe Doc Italian has disappeared, For several months there was a note on the windows saying it was closed for annual holidays, but there's now no sign of it reopening. You may remember we reported the chef moved to Monaco's Il Giardino last September.
What's in the diary...
Thursday: lunch with the Russian ambassador, the business of social legislation and decision making.
Friday: music by Berlioz and Namu, television receives awards.
Saturday: new centenary music, new graduates.
Sunday: competitive swimming works up appetite for delicious food.
Coming up next week, a day off, Monacology, Monte Carlo Voice Masters.
