30th July- A little slow of the ground this morning and stung by a WASP


 

The evening at the restaurant for Moules and Frites was great, unfortunately the amount of wine that flowed caused a slight delay to the start of operations today. Bot that we had much planned but when we awoke there was very fine mist over the campsite which caused us to go back to bed and think again about the day.

However, there is one thing to get things moving is the thought of eggs and bacon and tomato with a decent cup of tea to help wash it down was the order of the day. Once this aspect of breakfast was completes it was almost lunchtime and so without further to do we both went for a quiet afternoon kip and a little light reading. We bumped into Kevin and Denise who had started to take down some of the extension of their tent in readiness for tomorrow's departure but clearly it was not easy and as Kevin said "I now feel better than I did two hours ago but I still feel like s...", Ah such is life.

Whilst sitting reading something landed on my stomach and I want really looking but attempted to flick it away and it immediately plunged its poisonous little dagger deep in to Noels stomach which very soon afterwards started to turn red and expand a a rate of knots. So after raiding the First Aid Box and looking in the First Aid Book, not a single mention of wasp stings and so perhaps some wine later would take away the pain.

By late afternoon we recovered enough to think about dinner and decided to Barbie some lamb steaks which we had with a salad and a small glass of wine as it would appear that last night somebody, probably me, brought back from the restaurant the carafe that we had of 2/3 rd full of white wine which we had not drunk and so we polished that off as we are sure Stuart would like the carafe back as soon as possible.

It turned a little chilly and so we went inside and watched a film called 'Body of Lies' with De Caprio and Russell Crowe and which centred around CIA activities in Iraq, but it seemed to be filmed in many other places besides. We are not sure if we really understood the film however we watched it as it was only two hours long and the finishing of the film arrived at the same time as our planned bed time.

And so to bed
