The first real day of the holiday! I woke up about 10 and went for a look around the house- It was amazing! Those who got up first got a fantastic fried breakfast courtesy of Jed, I was one of the lucky ones!

Had a shower after removing too dead cockroaches from the shower and then went to sunbathe! It was so hot and they provided sun loungers- This is the life. I found a random French man on a fantastic old motorcycle when I wandered down the lane. I asked in English ‘Do you speak English’ and he said ‘Non’ so I took him iver to the French speakers in the barn. He was the farmer next door who helped the owners look after the house and told us the septic tank was full so Jed called the owners. Nice! Mr Francais as we named him could also sell us local produce and wine that he made himself. We went looking for petrol in the nearest town, Fumel but we discovered that the 24 petrol machine didn’t take English cards so me, Dan, Becky and Dave went back to the house due to lack of petrol while the others went to Cahors. We sat in the garden all afternoon soaking up the sun. It was wonderful. Luckily Jed and Rose had managed to do some shopping so I drank beer all afternoon and by the time the others got back I was so drunk whilst everyone else was sober, ooops! Burgers and Cheesy mash (made with potatoes from Mr Francais) for dinner at about 10pm. Drank all evening and ended up sitting on the floor in front of the oven waiting for the second round of burgers to be ready just so I could eat one. Stuff the diet! Very drunk and don’t remember much more of the evening! :)
