THREE POSTCARDS FROM JEAN-PHILIPPE GILLIOT. INTERESTING OR BORING? THE PANEL DECIDES....
J-P kindly sent me these Postcards and asked 'Are they Boring?' I put this question to the Executive Members Panel of the Group -- Do Ghi and Mr Boots, and this what they decided....
1. Steps in an old Village, Midi, Provence, France
Mr. Boots: this is very Boring. Don't post it.
Do Ghi: (no comment -- he took one look at it and went to sleep)
2. Street Scene, St-Guilheim-le-Désert, Languedoc, France
Mr. Boots: OK, that one is Boring
Do Ghi: but don't post it
3;'Quiteness', Provence, France
Mr Boots: this one is interesting. Why is the cat basket open, And why is there a cat on the window-sill?
Do Ghi: no it's not interesting at all. Nor is it Boring. You are obsessed with cats!
Mr Boots: what do you expect? I am a cat!
And so J-P, as there was no agreement as to whether these Postcards are Boring or not, it is with extreme regret that I must tell you that they cannot be posted here. But do, pkease, send some more for considertaion at the next meeting of the Executive Members Panel
