Horses

Thursday 11th October

It was a pretty unremarkable day in all respects really. The sun shone, we both finished another book each, Debrah sat in the shade all day and didn’t swim, I sat in the sun all day and did swim and the pool still felt colder than it really ought to have done.

In our room in the evening was an envelope with our departure instructions, which very bluntly brings home that it is all nearly over and that London and Carcassonne and ‘normal’ life is beckoning.

We joined the crowd for the free wine tasting, which I had done last week but Debrah had not. We got chatting to ‘Horses’, or Stuart (architect) and Abby (GP) to give them their real names and ended up sitting and having dinner with them in the hotel restaurant.

That’s it, another day gone.

GUEST BLOGSPOT
candidate no 8: Horses
Sterling, well bred middle class couple that talk about their polo horses all the time. We like to think they eat a bowl of oats for breakfast and an apple if they've been good.
VERDICT: WHEAT - we had a super conversation about Vola taps and Boffi sinks which is my kind of conversation.

candidate no 9: Mo Mowlem plus one
Bears a striking resemblance to Ms Mowlem and has the biggest filofax I have ever seen. Spent a morning doing diaries with partner (who now has gout!) - they got up to March 08, way to go.
VERDICT: WHEAT - Admirable organisational skills and not to be messed with.
