Wet weekend

It's still raining.

So the Repas de Quartier that we went to today, rather than taking place outside, was relocated into a large garage. It's an annual occasion - the first time for us - where ten or so local families get together for lunch. Well, we scarcely knew anyone but that didn't matter because everyone was extremely friendly and had all brought along huge amounts to eat. Inspired by this, we watched the video of Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor back at home in the evening.

In between, we went to the Castres ice skating rink to take advantage of a special free introductory session for children. They loved it. Fearnley has done a lot of roller blading so he went whizzing away immediately. Philomena fell over three times. Herne stopped counting at fifty. All keen to go back again as soon as possible.
