Still managed 24 miles even on my day off.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, if Carlsberg did days off; this would be up there.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Had a lie in until 8.30. Brekkie of baguette Parisienne, melted Camembert and cold sausage. Sorted washing and chatted to Agn\u00e8s for a while. Went back to Buffalo Grill to use wifi outside. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Checked out Intersport energy bars but they are too pricey. I’ll stick to Carrefour Kids chocolate Breakz!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Went to do my Nick Kamen (Levi\u2019s ad) impression in the launderette but I was commando as pants were in wash. I didn’t want to excite the French public too much! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Launderette

“Oh, oh, I heard It through the grapevine” Nick Kamen eat your heart out!<\/p><\/div>\n

Rain has just arrived, hope my tent is still there when I get back. Went for a beer in betting shop of a bar with wifi. Bought a fishing pole and rig. Then walked round Chateaubriand Castle<\/a>; very Interesting. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Visited an exhibition of WW2 aircraft. Had another beer and went to Bere church<\/a> which was open and so very beautiful inside. Won \u00a375 on Premium bonds so I am going for chateaubriand steak tonight; After I’ve seen burlesque dancing in a thunderstorm. (It was cancelled\u2026 outdoor event, I can\u2019t quite imagine what it would have been like!)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ramazan, a local, bought me a beer while waiting for the thunderstorm to pass.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Great skies and a rainbow followed the storm and now the chateaubriand steak is delicious!!! Well I did win on ERNIE today!!! Music is very good too. Right up my street : Torn – Natalie Imbruglia, U2, Lily Allen. Spandex Ballet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve decided days off means no budget!!!! Now I’m sitting in Bar La Bodega drinking Guinness with a Brummie landlord.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

PS. I had to say au revoir to Agn\u00e8s as she is off tomorrow but I will definitely keep in touch and meet up in Spain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
