Well, HAD we wanted to make the most of the day, we could have (weather-wise) as there were only a couple of drips of rain all day in the end ☔️
But we were both knackered and I had a lovely relaxing day…
Dave woke just as I’d completed the last blog entry & we had a cup of tea & the BEST chocolate chip cookie we’d picked up from the bakery section earlier 😋
Then – as the weather was good – Dave barbecue’d the lovely French pork sausages with a beer whilst he watched the match ⚽️ 🏴 V 🇪🇸
(We still need to buy a French SIM so we’re on phones rather than iPads & MacBooks ATM – see if you can spot the phone in the pic below where Dave is tucking into his tea !!!)
And I made a potato salad-a-La-Helene with sweetcorn & onion (in a washing-up bowl – needs must😂) which – accompanied by the BBQ sausages & fresh French bread 🥖 & butter – hit the spot.
Dave continued to watch the footy whilst I bobbed off to have a shower, hair wash & do all the bits that I normally don’t have time for or have to rush…
By the time I got back, Dave was deep in conversation with Chas (Ian) & Dave who had turned up on motorbikes 🏍️ & single-man tents ⛺️ & pitched in the spot next to us on the other side of the hedge.
Chas said he had a motorhome & a wife 😂 plus it’s usually Dave & my brother-in-law, Paul who go camping with their motorbikes – so they had a lot to talk about 😂
Meanwhile the footy had gone to PENALTIES ⚽️ (that’s when I actually started watching properly…)
But that poor first girl who scored but slipped – and they discounted it !!! No wonder she missed the next attempt 😞
Anyway it was very exciting and all’s well that ends well 🏆🥳 !!!
So after cheese & crackers with yet more wine (well I didn’t actually stop drinking all day TBH but I AM on my holibobs 😎) I then watched episodes 7 & 8 of the VERY LAST season of The Handmaid’s Tale – which was very stressful but very enjoyable…
(Only 2 episodes to go and then I’ll get stuck into my Val McDermid book…)
… and turned the light off at midnight 😴
