25th April 2009

When we woke up Paul said he’d been thinking about the weight thing and that we should both go on low-carb diets and eat lots of salad and vegetables, that’s how he wants to lose weight. I’m just glad he’s agreed to do something about it.

The weather has turned miserable and wet, so we phoned Fran & Ted where we were going to base ourselves from 11th May because Ted was going into hospital for a week and we were going to house sit for them.  We asked them if they minded us coming early and they said, ‘great, no problem head on down.’  We said we’d arrive later that day, probably early evening.  We stopped on the way at the proverbial Leclerc and stocked up with stamps to send some postcards back to UK. We also bought some salad but when we got to the checkout they said we were supposed to weigh it ourselves and put a price ticket on it all.  We must have been really popular because we held up the queue while we went back and weighed everything - Ha ha!  God, stuff is expensive in France now, two peaches £0.63 each! We drove for a bit and stopped for lunch, then carried on to Fran & Ted’s, and arrived about 6.30pm.
