A quiet day in St Cirq

The weather has started to improve over the last couple of days but its still quite cold at night. Its not terribly hot and the highest temperature we have had is about 22 Centigrade and so all the effort to make certain I had sufficient pars of shorts seems now to be a bit pointless.

Unfortunately the editor odd this Blog was still having some challenges and maybe it was the Yogurt or the change of Orange juice but is is messing up my opportunities to go for a swim. Noel has now missed four days of swimming ( perhaps three) all due to the white bread causing me issues which means no swimming.



So in the afternoon Jennifer went for a swim with Noel wrapping up the blog and then spending time listening to music. Noel came across a Roger Water’s Concert in Portland , Oregon  USA which was brilliant and nearly caused him to burn the salmon as he was also in change of cooking due to Jennifer having accidentally kicked some metal furniture and damaging her toe. I think she did it on purpose to avoid cooking and I can safely say that here as I know she never looks at the Blog.

In the evening as I mentioned I fried up some Salmon with green beans and baked potatoes which down quite well and then watched ‘Plank of the Week’ from Talk TV which is always fun to watch.



We had earlier in the week spoken to the Hotel Boss for say three extra days but they cud at the time only offer one, and he would let s know about cancelations etc however that put strain on the rest of our plans where we have pretty much decided to take a real country road to Limoges, about 5 hours over the hills and dales rather than 3 hours on the Autoroutes . We plan to stay at the new Kyriad Hotel North East of Limoges and then the next day on to Tours for two nights and then finally one night in Rouen before heading for the ferry on 24 th Sept. We just have to speak to the reception tomorrow morning to finalise the status and then can go ahead with the Hotels for the route home and also changing the Ferry Bookings, all of which will take a little time.

Being home on the Tuesday allows to catch up on a few things as Noel has a golfing with colleagues in Hampshire on 1st and 2nd of October although will have leave early on the 2nd to attend a funeral, yes another one bites the dust.
