Storm blown out

This is more like it - sky blue from horizon to horizon, sea shimmering,
sun sucking up the puddles.
I have 5 hours left in Cannes,before I dash for the sleeper back to
Paris then London.
It's not just the sea that is shimmering - the mirage of major
development funding is hovering just a hands-breadth away. The film
board execs we met this morning couldn't have been happier with the
project - I have to get the long treatment in by the end of the month,
for consideration in the next round of investment.
So it's back to blighty and back to work.
Phone still fried, alas.
