It was a lovely day and we had breakfast ( fresh melon, yoghurt, baguette and jam and a strong coffee) outside but by 0900 Paul said “I’m too hot, I’m going indoors!<\/p>\n

As we needed a few provisions (mainly BBQ bits) , we decide to go out reasonably early and \u00a0come back and have a swim and read by the pool. Good strategy. We drove to L<\/a>abastide-Murat, where there there is a handy supermarket and also – to our pleasure – we found it was market day. So we sauntered around – it was quite big but there was nothing we fancied so we went to the bar for a biere. \u00a0Another good strategy! Whilst there we noticed that there was a friendly Petanque evening on Friday and resolved to pop along and play.<\/p>\n

While we were out, we got a message from George saying “Call me!” That’s not usually a good text to get and this was no exception. George had a call at 0545 from Uncle D saying that the dog had escaped – he could not find him anywhere. George got up to get dressed and go looking for him and then he heard a scratching at the front door! Archie had made his way home. Across a busy main road – i.e the A27! \u00a0High drama but no real harm done, thank goodness. Mad dog!<\/p>\n

We spent the afternoon as planned and got ourselves ready for the Monday night quiz. It was great fun and they also had a promotion for Desperados – a flavoured beer – our take on it was that you’d have to be pretty blimmin’ desperado to drink it!<\/p>\n

It was a good evening and we came third – two teams having tied for 1st place. \u00a0Retired with the Cribathon score standing at 4-2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
