… way to spend an afternoon!
Sitting in my living room with the window wide open, listening to the music. It’s the Festival of the Upper Town today and they had a live band playing in the little square.
No need for me to go out and watch – I could hear them quite clearly from here!
This morning I had a little lie-in. Awake as late as 07:45, but it was 08:15 when I crawled out
I’d been on my travels too during the night, with The One That Got Away. Her daughter was a ballet star but TOTGA thought that she wasn’t receiving the attention that she was due. I thought that she should force the issue by saying that she had received offers from elsewhere and was seriously considering them. But TOTGA thought that that was a bad idea in case her bluff was called.
I was out early for my baguette before the tourists cleaned out the place.
The skies were really clear this morning – no haze about at all and so I nipped in for the new camera and the new telephoto lens.
Jersey was there looking quite clear 30-odd miles away so I snapped off a quick photo.
The focal length isn’t as long as the one for the Nikon D5000
Lunch on the wall as usual, in the bright warm sun, and then I went for a walk into the old town. The village fête wasn’t much to write home about, but there was some excitement.
They rigged up some kind of jousting machine where a member of the crowd was pushed down the hill in a wheelbarrow by a friend.
The person in the wheelbarrow had a long stick and the aim was to push the stick through the hole in the dolly.
It’s not so easy going down a hill at speed in a wheelbarrow, and if you miss the hole, you catch a soaking – just like these two girls.
Tonight was the best pizza yet – cooked to perfection. I did remember to take out the bottom baking tray and that certainly helped.
Now I’m off for a walk See if anything is still going on at the village fête. But I doubt it – it’s been quiet for the last hour.
