Thursday 13th June 2013 – THE ANSWER …

… to that question was “no”.

At least, that’s how it appeared at 07:00 this morning when I awoke.

Absolutely hissing down with rain. No-one felt like leaving the comfort of their heaving pit and so it wasn’t until about 09:00 that we all assembled for breakfast.

A quick nip into town afterwards for one or two purchases, being soaked to death by the rain, and that was about that for the morning.

We spent much of the time looking in the pools for the marine life left behind by the tide. And believe me, there wasn’t half enough of it.

Cécile spent quite some time pointing out to me all of the different varieties of marine life and, true to form, I have now forgotten them all

This evening we were invited around for drinks and a chat by Cécile’s mother’s neighbours so I had to be sociable – not like me at all. And we were there until well past 21:00 too.

Cécile and I went for a long walk afterwards in the gathering gloom and that was that – the rain was still holding off.

Highlight of the day was that Cécile’s mother’s cat, Chaupette, finally allowed me to pick her up and stroke her.

We are definitely making progress.
