Sunday 19 August

The fog which arrived late yesterday afternoon has stayed the night, and the morning is cool, damp, and very still. 

The natives are friendly

A foggy evening

 Our bantering French neighbours from across the way are now also very quiet, after enjoying themselves merrily until well into the night.

Life on the boat is in its own very special little bubble—and so relaxing, although it is difficult to explain exactly just why  this should be.

  Little routines soon become daily practice, such as the nightly rounds of cards, etc.  Lately, in the evenings after dinner (usually on board), we have been watching the American version of the Danish series “The Killing”. This is a strange concoction, but very effective, and so unlike the American television we expect.
The fog cleared off in the afternoon to give yet another scorcher. In between sunbathing and snoozing we made use of the slightly better wi-fi at the marina yacht Club.

Our just desserts

Following a very nice dinner on board, we changed our usual pattern and headed off to the cinema to see “Jane Eyre” (English version). It was a lovely film. When we arrived in the cinema 5 minutes before start, we were the only customers, but we were joined by 5 others at the last minute.

Just before it got crowded

We got back to the boat just after 11pm to a light supper, some cards, and snoozeville...
