Did you say something Anna
Yes but it does not matter
The screech of the Herring Gulls blinded me
I found an interesting pebble yesterday
What was interesting about it
It was illustrated
An image
No just words
What were these words
Hot Soup
Free Transport
In Luxembourg
That is an odd combination
My thoughts entirely
Why do you think these words were added
I do not have a clue
Normally it is something like Mike’s Stone or Linda loves Darren
Basically these are two non abstract observations
Explain
Well soup is normally served hot and I believe that public transport has been free to the public in Luxembourg since 2020
So the message might be that the artist had enjoyed hot soup on lets say a train in Luxembourg
Possibly but it was rather random and like me saying
I like jelly fish only in the summer and was once stung by one
Have you found any interesting pebbles Anna
I found a pebble with the word cunt painted carefully on it
The font used was rather interesting
I call it my cunt stone and keep it in my study
Why do you think that somebody took the trouble to write the word cunt on a pebble in an unusual font
Art Anna it is a form of art all illustrations on pebbles are a form of art
There are a number to be found on the beaches around here
Some are just painted brightly whereas others are illustrated sometimes quite carefully with things like flowers or might just contain

Such as
Dane loves Jane
I collect them unless they are there for a personal reason
Being
In memory of a person deceased
A love stone I tend to leave those alone
I just keep the rest in a wooden crate
Is this your hobby
Not it is just a pastime
I do not take it seriously
Going away from illustrated pebbles
I am currently studying the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard
That was the chap who discussed architecture and space amongst other things
Yes I find his work interesting
But it was not his work that amused me the other day
But how the French had celebrated the house of his birth
A blue plaque
No it was better than that
Pray tell I am all ears
Well they had painted the wall of the said house pale pink
Adding
Gaston Bachelard
philosophe
1884 – 1962
There is also a white stencilled image of the philosopher next to the detail
I really like its minimalism
I could not really seeing this catching on in the UK
I agree maybe vacant footballers or pop stars but not philosophers
It is intensely French and that is why I adore our cousins over there
Do you think that the French paint pebbles
I am not sure I cannot say that I have seen any
I expect they do with quotes from Sartre Camus and the like
Anna with reference to your question
That you asked late in our last fiction
My answer is yes
