We have nothing planned. Chrissie has been rather poorly for over a week and we have lived on soup and sandwiches. Su, we saw your message on the Coupiac Facebook Page. You never saw us as we did not go. Chrissie just was not up to it which is a shame as we were looking forward to it.
Friday... we had massive storms last night and no power. Its all passed over now but its tipping down so thats gardening out of the question. I am having to do Physiotherapy 3 times a day and its knocking my back about. I think I will go back to bed as I never slept a wink last night.
Pork Loin with Ratatouille and Couscous for tea. To be honest neither of us fancy eating.
Saturday...another lazy day
Soup and a sandwich for tea.
Sunday...Hopefully get some gardening done. If its too wet I'll start fitting the skirting in the cellar stairwell.
Chicken Tagine for tea if Chrissie feels up to it. If not then its a salad.
Football on the telly as long as we have no more storms.
Now heres a bit of a tale. As you know France got knocked out of the Euro's on Tuesday. On Wednesday I went to the tip and someone had thrown a pair of football booots in the general rubbish skip. So if anyone wants a pair of Puma football boots, around size 10, moulded sole and look in near new condition but need laces. I couldn't resist a bit of banter with the manager of the Tip. I may go back for more tomorrow morning as we won against Holland. We have quite a Dutch contingency down here and there are always lots of Flatlanders on holiday. I may have a walk later and see if there is anyone I can bait to pass the time.

Today: We're gently coaxing the car at the moment so we just went to Combeinteignhead for coffee rather than Widecombe. (I've started looking for a replacement motor, but it looks like I'll have to pay more than I was intending - we'll see). This afternoon will be spent in front of the box watching the cycling, then it's an old favourite for tea - Chicken Basque. It's a Delia recipe, with chicken, rice, chorizo, olives, sundried toms, red pepper onions and garlic. It's a sort of easy paella without the seafood.
Tomorrow: Still doing the Zoom with my uni mates - we started in 2020 and tomorrow will be the 213th episode. We're all politically to the left of Starmer, so we'll still be celebrating the election result and I expect we'll discuss what happened in France, as well as chatting about the Euros and how useless Southgate is, matches that we went to in the late 70s, and the cricket. Then Sarah and I will have a ride out somewhere for a coffee or perhaps some lunch. Then it's more cycling on the telly (they're in the Pyrenees this weekend, my favourite bit) before boring old Spag Bol in the evening.
Sunday: Back to Combeinteignhead for a lunchtime snifter, then roast lamb around 5pm. Then a swift dash to do the washing up before KO time. The penalties against Switzerland and the performance against the Dutch have re-enervated my interest, although I'm fully expecting disappointment once again, just like 3 years ago. I hope we don't score too early and then sit back for 80 minutes!
