Nothing much
So today I am bored. We decided to stick around the campsite for Steve to rest his back after he hurt it yesterday, but I’m not great at doing completely nothing for too long (we already spent yesterday doing very little!). Caught up on washing and hung that out, swept, tidied and cleaned the inside of the van, then spent most of the rest of the day reading a book. Read the whole thing and it ended up being a predictable ending, so that wasn’t even exciting! Don’t really want to start another one today as I only have 4 left, and twice as many days to go … I may have to read the kids’ books at this rate, not necessarily a bad thing in Anna’s case at least …
The kids have hung out with their friends pretty much all day – they did the kids’ activities onsite, and played in the forest, and around the pool – so they’ve been happy, and Steve has been trying not to whinge. Towards the end of the afternoon the kids sat down to watch a film with the family they’ve hooked up with (8yo girl and 11yo boy), and I managed to drag Steve out for a short bike ride. Now he’s reading back in the tent and I’m sitting watching the children watch their film, and looking out of the window at the first daytime rain we’ve had this holiday. Still, it has been a cheap day, yet again, and this is good. Suspect we will more than make up for it tomorrow as we are planning to go into Paris, and that can only be expensive!
