Sunday 12th June - Toulouse

After our first night of socialising, it was a slow start to the day even though Crew managed to get a load of washing on.  Then we decided to go and have a look at the market.  On the way, Skip discovered that his shorts were a bit loose so, first stop.....find a belt!  Crew bought some socks for her walking shoes (we are going walking in Chamonix in July - as well as some nice food and wine of course!).  We were hoping to have lunch where we lunched before by Les Halles des Graines but the little restaurant was full so we walked back to the Bistrot du Port for a salad of gravadlax and a bottle of white.  The restaurant is right next to Henks' boat Cornelus k. and since we didn't quite finish the wine we took it over and shared the residue and had a little chat about tomorrow's' arrangements.  Since we have two lone sailors, Arthur and Henk, and for the next couple of days we have twelve quite deep locks, David and Janet are going with Arthur and we are going with Henk to help take the lines.   Women's' work!!  Should be fun!  Skip managed a short siesta but Crew went below and was unable to sleep for the outside chatter - so, an early night is called for!!  A glass of red, some cheese and a DVD......then bed!
