Dinner for guests

The main act in the square tonight was Christophe, a gravel voiced French rocker - and very popular he must have been given the crowds walking up the hill from the square late on this evening.

I have seen him before and he's not all that. He's trying to be Johnny Halliday, who isn't all that either, but obviously isn't as good because we have never heard of him and frankly he is far too old to be standing up there on stage in leather trousers gyrating about as if he is some sort of sex symbol. Still, the French crowd seem to like him.

I didn't see anything of him this evening because I was hosting a dinner here at 42rvh for two sets of guests and a jolly evening it was too that went on until midnight - ooh, they did like to chat. All very well them trotting off back to their suites, I have to do all the clearing up and then be up an hour before them to sort their breakfast - such is the lot of a luxury holiday apartment proprietor.

We had a bit of a north/south thing going on with one couple from Herts, very respectable middle class and terribly polite in a Shires sort of way, and one couple form Sheffield, both separated/divorced with children and a little bit bling but not overly so in a Yorkshire sort of way. All of them are absolutely lovely people and they all seemed to get on extremely well which is why we went on until midnight.

The Herts lot have been up at dawn and off out to do things and see things and early to bed and the Yorks lot have been having 10am breakfasts and been late for everything by about two hours.

I jokingly said to Debrah this morning that they would probably, despite my advice, get to the hire car office in town bang in the middle of lunchtime when it will of course be closed. At 1.00pm I got a phone call from them saying that they had found the car hire place but it was shut - priceless.

When they did go back they found that car hire prices in France have gone through the sunroof and so they didn't bother anyway - €160 for a Clio for two days is ridiculous so I sympathise. They took a boat up the canal instead - far more sedate.
