The overnight rain was severe and much stronger than expected and lasted until late morning and so putting up the awning was not an option.
So we went shoping to the fish shop in Courmeilles and something for lunch and came back and enjoyed not having to do anything and then for lunch followed by a couple of hours of zizzing, very necessary after a number of hectic days. Suddenly the sun came out and the sky cleared but the wind came up and so to strong to put up and awning. So to fill in the time Noel tried to come to grips with the caravan electronic control panel which handles heating of all types, the straight on/off to the advanced planning for the next ten years to come on and off at a set time then change at nights to a different temperature. Only time will tell if its right as last night we both felt a little to warm.
Prior to coming away, in a mad splash Noel purchased a satellite system to take with us on the caravan, not to watch the F1 motor racing or even the world cup but just to watch the weather forecast!!I doubt it.
We have watched people for years setting up systems for hours on end and even the german nuclear security guy who is here again this year said yesterday when he chatted it took him four days to get a signal. So Noel had purchased a system for Sat twits and lo and behold after a certain amount of trepidation we started to set it up, Jennifer set an alarm for after one hour not to do it anymore but b.... hell in ten minutes we had a signal and watching antique show, or whatever its called. amazing.
Dinner tonight was fast fried white fish who name escapes us with rice and petis pois and a glass or two of Chardonnay, most enjoyable particularly as all the clouds have gone and the wind disappeared which augers well for the rest of the week. Looking forward to the 6th D-Day celebrations, details to follow.
And so to bed...
