Hugely early because I'm excited.
Thursday: I'll be waiting for the exit polls then sleeping until the first results with the @theneweuropean wipe-out sheet (targets already marked).
Friday: Sleeping off the hangover on the sofa. Ages ago we booked to go to the immersive van Gogh experience in Liverpool on Saturday. The only tickets we could get were 10:30, so last week we booked a hotel for Friday night and a meal at Mowgli. Last night we found the Bootleg Beatles and Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra are playing at the Arena on Friday (anniversary of the release of the Blue Album), so we've cancelled the meal and got tickets for that instead.
Saturday: Beyond van Gogh - you go into a big white room and they project Vincent's artwork all around you so it fills every corner of your vision while they play ambient music. Meeting Jac for lunch to give him his birthday presents (he was in Berlin). Spend another fortune in John Lewis.
Sunday: no plans, but we'd better go shopping with Jean. A walk will also be had.
Have a good 'un!
ps. In the meantime one of my kids will be at Silverstone for the F1 and another week be off to Milan. Makes my plans look a bit less exciting, but I don't mind.

Already editing - we're going to Manchester on Sunday to meet Jac. Somehow I thought this would happen.

Today: Having waited until 3.30 when that awful woman Anne Marie Morris got royally dumped in Newton Abbot (our constituency), and given that the weather was shit today, we decided to fester at home. Seafood Tagine with couscous for tea (monkfish, prawns, mussels and squid). Looking frward to watching The Last Leg on C4 tonight.
Tomorrow: To make up for missing Widecombe yesterday, we're going there for lunch today. Jägerschnitzel with mushroom sauce and garlic and rosemary wedges for tea. Won't be watching the England match as I'm relatively calm at the moment and would like to remain so.
Sunday: Another Festerday, with a quick trip to the pub at Combeinteignhead at lunchtime, followed by a chicken dinner.

Friday...We were up early and off to the hospital again. Thats the third time in 2 weeks. Between Coupiac and Trebas we went round a hairpin bend and had to pull up a bit sharpish as a small herd of wild boar were crossing. Three sows faced us off while the young, about 12 of them, strolled across the road without a care in the world. We have been here for 19 years now and its the first wild boar or Sanglier we have seen although the forests here are full of them and the population has exploded since Covid when hunting was banned. No sign of the boar though. We are animal lovers but God they are ugly. Spent the rest of the day shopping in Albi and was it hot, 35C and the aircon on the car was up the creek. Must book it in to get it recharged.
It was the first night of Brasc en Fete. A pretty low key affair as the population of Brasc is only around 50 and a few chickens and ducks. We intended to go but were too tired by the time we had unpacked and put everything away. We have been out and about a lot lately and we live so remote you never pass a Supermarket without buying something. Hence we now have over 300 bottles of beer, 80 tins of tomato's and 8 bottles of Baileys for Chrissie. We have food stashed everywhere. It was a life saver during Covid.
Simple Ham Sandwiches for tea.
Saturday...Butchering meat this morning and Chrissie is wrapping and packing for the freezer. I was going to do more brushcutting but we have had bad storms all night so I will watch England versus All Blacks. More paperwork to sort out from the hospital.
Volcanic Chicken Curry with Fried Rice for tea watching England get destroyed twice in a day.
Sunday...Came home from Albi with enough timber to finish boxing in the cellar stairwell so hopefully will get that done. Pick courgettes in the garden.
Not sure what we are eating. Chrissie is right off her food so perhaps just a simple omelette.
Monday...Its the first night of the Coupiac Night Market and chicken dancing to Madame Bontempi. It will be good to get out. Might have a nibble, might not, we will see how we feel. Saying that, we have not seen Madame Bontempi and her Bongo Beating wife for months. Lets hope she is okay as she was in pretty poor health last year.
Have a good one everyone.

Your seafood tagine sounds amazing Will It was OK, but I didn't think that the spices did any favours for the delicate flavour of the fish. We both ate it all and Sarah said she enjoyed it, but I was a bit "meh!"

Two edits to report: I did watch the match as there was nothing else on the TV or radio to entertain me whilst cooking. I thought were looked better, but it would have been difficult not to improve on previous performances. Plus on the way back from Widecombe the dreaded warning light flickered on briefly a couple of times, so now I'm not sure about the pub trip at lunchtime today.
