The title has no bearing on the days spent here as I'm only getting round to writing every other day.

Fascinating images displaying the demise of the coal industry around the world and the impact of climate change. Great displays of waves, floods and melting ice.

The house has a new edition since I was last here - a grand piano.

I was taken on a tour of the subtleties of how a piano works which I'd never seen before. It is used when Tricia arranges a performance of the Bach choir she is involved with. The SF house has plenty of room for these events once the space is cleared of Clive's art works.

Tricia cooked dinner - Halibut and Scallops in pasta with green salad. A delicious meal. I've promised to cook something at High Horse - probably my white fish on pesto mash with salsa and green vegetables. Clive wants me to do my chicken tagine so I'll give that my best shot if I can find the ingredients at the small Safeway in Willits. It's very parochial up there.

I've always had a fascination with surrealism so this opportunity to see a range of Magritte work was not to be missed. It is fascinating to be teased by the artist.

Another evening of good food, wine and conversation.
