    Canal du midi day 2
    It’s Tudes 65th birthday day. Barb lit a match in her croissant this morning for her. A bit of a blustery day but has remained warm and sunny. We’re getting very slick at canalwomenship quickly and working well as a team. Just like doing CPR with lots of good communication. We stopped before lunch and biked into a lovely medieval town - see photo of barb on bike. The bikes are good but did have a bit of a sort out yesterday as one had no good breaks one had a major malfunction and spat out its chain. Fortunately this was on the way to the supermarket so easily sorted.
    And just saying for all of you who scoffed at my temu buys I have to report that I have used ALL the stuff even the coat hanger clothes line. The weeny sissors. The sheets of clothes and hand washing and even my stain remover one as barb up ended in town today and talk about blood!
    We’ve gone further than we planned today so about to go through last lock then hors douvres that we all get VERY excited about, as have we have indulged in the cheeses galore and nibbles. Tonight barb made prosciutto with fresh melon and then we have paella for main. Oh a nice rose^ as you do.
