I seem to have been having a bit of a rest day today; the Swan Whisperer went for a walk this morning, and I could, and arguably should, have gone with him, but chose not to. We didn't set off as early as I would have liked, for one reason or another, and it was a long, rather dull drive down here, on the outskirts of Arcachon. It's a lovely aire, though.
En route we stopped at an E Leclerc for me to shop; I was very amused to see a young bird perching on top of the fruit and vegetable aisle - I don't think it did anything too ghastly on the red peppers. Sadly, it flew off before I could get a photo.
We stopped at a random aire for lunch; it was called L'aire des Oiseaux, and the Swan Whisperer had hoped it would have waterfowl or something, but no! It was very big, though, so no problem parking.
I dozed most of the way down the motorway after that. When we arrived here, there was someone in front of us making a total dogs' breakfast of checking in. I can't think why, as it was dead easy - you entered your reg number and the number of nights you wanted to stay, paid by contactless and it issued you a ticket on which was the entry-exit code! Anyway, they got in at last, and so did we. Lots of space, but as it is by a huge leisure area, I'm just as glad we didn't come here earlier!
The Swan Whisperer went for an explore, and I did a very short and rather pathetic tai chi, which I hoped would wake me up, but it hasn't, really! Still feel the better for it, though. And then we discovered that the fizzy wine we opened yesterday had fallen over in the fridge and spilt over all the vegetables! Oh well, we are drinking what's left, and I am changing plans for tonight's supper!
