We don't have a religion either! Well, we have a rule, "Don't do feck all on a Sunday as that is the only day we get off!" but then we is retired!

We are retired too So if we want a midweek day off we do, cause we can.

Yes, don't we just!
Just checked the temps, 37 in the shade, pool is at 27. Sun not exactly shining but too warm to close it up. Deffo a dip afore tea!
Dutch friends coming for a swim tomorrow affo then off to farmers market for some good nosh an a bottle of rosé, where we will meet old friends. Altho peeps tell me only half the stall holders are going there at the mo.
Whether some have gone bust, don't get enough customers to make it worthwhile or whether they are just being super careful, we just don't know.

I managed to drag my enthusiasm out of the bed and took it for a walk.

Just finished watching the F1 and MotoGP races.
I knew the MotoGP would be more exciting

Depends on how you look at it.
It’s great to see a different colour car in number 1 slot
And there was some excitement in the Moto Gp and MM is still in cos of the mix it up today
Must admit that was the bravest long lap I have seen

Win win in both.

I was expecting to see some tyre failures in the F1 race based on the condition of some of them.

It’s hard to believe that the hard blister on a U.K. track. Wish they would open up the tyre manufacturers, so teams have more choice. Really think it would change F1.

Good night pips....
Loverly weather for a sit in traffic jams while they recover loose caravans & suitcase/bikes
More nice views tomorrow if the weather stays good.

It is with great sadness that I have to report on the demise of "Elsa" who is no longer "FROZEN".
She has served this family well for over 25 years providing crushed/cubed ice and chilled water on demand and looking after all of our frozen & fresh foods. Sadly she expired in the sweltering heat yesterday/today and now cannot get below 10-c in the freezer and 20c in the fridge section.
£1200 back in the mid nineties so it has been excellent value.
New updated one will be here Weds. Yes, I could possibly call a man out to check if she just needs a re-gas; but its been running without a break for 25 yrs+ so maybe the compressor is worn out. Time for a change then.

Morning All
And so another day begins. Tiny stomping feet upstairs and lots of screeching.
Paper's got, coffees here, but the cream's gorn-orf in the busted fridge.
Gym this morning, then maybe some work on their house if the UF/CH stuff has arrived.
Have a great day!

Our friends cannot make their mind up if they are coming up the mountain for a swim this affo or not, sending us opposite messages every few minutes.
Will still give the pool a bit of a "vacuum clean" as it needs it anyway.
But had thunder all night in the distance further along the Montagne Noire and heard a bit this morning too. (Have to disconnect the Sosh box and thus the phone if it gets too close, so might even miss their messages, lol!)
Farmer's market down in the valley this evening, unless it belts it down with rain of course.
Rain predicted from about 14:30 on, less up here, but as we have a micro climate, who knows? Who knew not knowing exactly what the weather will be like could be so much fun?

Sorry to hear this! She looks F off big, very tall. In cubic inches must be about 2 bodys' worth standing up!
Bet you had fun getting it into the room. Unless you have a good straight run to the door. We had to take the doors off the one in France and the handles of the one in the UK and neither of ours is as tall as this one. Sure you'll miss her.
Any chance of an insurance claim on the lost food? Or would it not beat the loading yet still cost you next year in premiums? Insurance: "lending you an unmbrella when it isn't raining then taking it away again when the clouds come over"
