| Stella calls this meal dunch - late lunch /early dinner - best eaten in pyjamas |
After the brutally early start yesterday, today was a pretty lazy day. Perfect really. Went to the boulangerie this morning and stocked up on croissants, pain au chocolat & baguettes. Called in at Shopi for some further sustenance and then home for the rest of the day really. Got the internet partially sorted out. Just can’t send emails for some reason but set up a hasty web address for getting my message out. Incoming mail is fine so all those important messages will be received and attended to! I think I’m a little too hooked on the computer but it does help me feel connected to the world and that’s something that could be in jeopardy out here because there’s not too many folks around these parts. Didn’t really practise my French today but tomorrow is market day so that should be fun.
By 5pm I felt capable of going for a short run – didn’t see a single car until I was nearly home – then just one. Several French cows gave me the once over and looked as if they didn’t see too many people – If you stare at them for a while they get quite nervous.
Then home for a glass of champagne and dinner and that’s it really – sorry today is one for the hard core fans. I do have some work to do this week – following up with contacts in America etc but today although it was on my mind I just couldn’t make myself do anything like that. To be fair too by the time I’d sorted out the internet I had used up quite a bit of the day.
Geoffrey gave Curtis a haircut in the garden – see picture and the kids watched a few more old episodes of Kath & Kim – which for some reason goes down a treat in a French farm house.

Great to hear that Romenay is so peaceful and serene but disappointed about the technology operating at the same sleepy pace...have you caught up with M 'n' M, the newly weds????
