Julien Sorel in the 'hood

I'll save you some racking of the brain, Julien Sorel was the main character in le Rouge et le Noir. 

Spent a pleasantly slow "flexitime-fleximine" lunch and afternoon with Christophe. We took our respective cynicism for a walk around a couple of galleries. 

For some reason he is not that thrilled when I introduce him as the guy who used to bully me in 1st year in secondary school back in 1981.
