… way to spend an afternoon!<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

No need for me to go out and watch – I could hear them quite clearly from here!<\/p>\n

This morning I had a little lie-in. Awake as late as 07:45, but it was 08:15 when I crawled out<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I was out early for my baguette<\/em> before the tourists cleaned out the place.<\/p>\n

\"jersey<\/a>The skies were really clear this morning – no haze about at all and so I nipped in for the new camera<\/a> and the new telephoto lens<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Jersey was there looking quite clear 30-odd miles away so I snapped off a quick photo. <\/p>\n

The focal length isn’t as long as the one for the Nikon D5000<\/a>\"\" but it’s auto-focus and it’s come out reasonably clear for what it is.
<\/p>\n

Lunch on the wall as usual, in the bright warm sun, and then I went for a walk into the old town. The village f\u00eate wasn’t much to write home about, but there was some excitement.<\/p>\n

\"place<\/a><\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

The person in the wheelbarrow had a long stick and the aim was to push the stick through the hole in the dolly.<\/p>\n

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.
<\/p>\n

Tonight was the best pizza yet – cooked to perfection. I did remember to take out the bottom baking tray and that certainly helped.<\/p>\n

Now I’m off for a walk See if anything is still going on at the village f\u00eate. But I doubt it – it’s been quiet for the last hour.<\/p>\n
