Friday: Pickup the car (finally) in an hour or so. Train(s) (three of them) to Gloucester, with Sam joining me just north of Bristol. Check in to hotel, go to pub, then to the ground for our hospitality session, then watch the match.
Saturday: Rail replacement bus to Cheltenham the train home by 1.30ish hopefully. Quiet afternoon with Sarah after having some lunch up at Haldon. Chicken Basque in the evening.
Sunday: Very restful day; venison casserole for lunch/tea.

Friday...Having worked in the garden all week I shall probably work in the cellar today. Or tidy the garage. Or a bit of both.
Aubergine, with Tomato Sauce, Bacon and Chilli with twirly Pasta for tea.
Saturday...Loads of garden stone to bag up and take to the dump. A run to the builders yard for more sand and gravel. England v Greece in the Rugby League World Cup in the afternoon.
Bacon and Egg Baps for tea. We have a huge piece of bacon air drying hanging from a beam in the kitchen.
Sunday...Up at 2.00am to watch the Red Roses v Australia in the World Cup. I do not have good feelings about this. England are head and shoulders above just about everyone else in the World but are not playing that well and are vulnerable. Start tidying the extension. There are tools and materials everywhere. And vegetables, boxes of veggies all over the floor.
Risotto Corinne for tea.
Have a good one everybody.

I'm guessing you've got a long weekend Monsieur owing to Toussaint? We have a long weekend every weekend Will....... There is a huge service at Coupiac Church and everyone lays Chrysanthemums at the Cemetary. Everything is closed on Monday. But virtually everything is closed on Mondays anyway in France. So its a pretty normal weekend for us old fogies. Its only those that work Monday that get a long weekend.

Your life does sound idyllic. If one ignores the weather, strikes, bureaucracy, crumbling roads, lack of local services etc.😂
No seriously, despite the annoyances, it sounds pretty good.

Tonight - no tea at Jean's as she's got a horrible cold and we don't want to catch it over half term. I'll whip up something lovely when I've seen what's in the freezer. Blues on the telly as night matches are out of the question following the last one. Dunno why I bother with a season ticket.
Tomorrow - risking taking Jean shopping but she's going to have to wear a mask. Nice long walk somewhere. Jac is here just for Saturday night.
Sunday - drop Jac at the station, walk, collect Tom from the station
Monday - early-ish start (the M56 is closed until 6am as they're replacing a bridge, so no point going before then) and off to glorious Pittenweem again. This is the holiday we'd booked for Easter but got CoViD instead. Unfortunately Elanor's (Daisy's) half term is different to ours so she can't go, so it'll be Jayne, Tom and I with Lily joining us from Perth.
