Last night's dinner:

Looks like (and felt like) a confrontation with the Sahara. |
Later on I practised some paradiddles on my leg-mounted drum pad using an internet metronome on the laptop:
Highlight of any Campsite holiday:
Visited the camp launderette when I got back from drumming on the beach. I just love doing this:
Nothing is ever straight-forward at these French launderettes. Washing tablets were to be purchased at the checkout of the campsite supermarket. But how many were to be used at one time: one or two
So I asked the chap who is usually on the till at the checkout - the spitting image of President Hollande, incidentally.

Mmmh! One or two? |
The conversation went like this (in pidgin-English/French).
Me: Do you know how many of these tablets one puts into the machine?
Hollande: I don't know. I never use the place. I've a machine at home .......... and a woman to operate it.
Cycled to Vias for morning Mass at St John the Baptist:
Cycled round the back streets of Vias:

The French love their trompe l'oeil |
And discovered the SNCF station at Vias:
