Sat outside a bar, Jan had a brandy, Keith a beer, the cost? €2-50 We walked back along the road to the site. Very pleasant in the afternoon sunshine. Tomorrow! [...]
We have stayed on site today, a few chores, but, mostly sat in the sun reading. ( Oh, and drunk some wine) We had to go inside at lunchtime because it was too hot, the high thirties. We came out again when it dropped down to the twenties. How about you?
