Monday 23rd September - L’isle sur Doubs

Crew woke to the sound of rain but, no matter......no clock watching this morning!  By the time Skip had given Aphrodite a good clean outside and Crew had put some washing on, we thought we would go into town.  It was market day but unfortunately, they were closing down so only a few stalls left.  Crew still managed to buy a silk flower arrangement for the boat.  The bar we had been to before was closed and another establishment which Skip thought might be a restaurant was just a rather shabby bar, so we decided to go to the supermarket - a fairly large  Intermarche.  On the way back, we went to look at a restaurant just across the bridge, which was serving a simple two course menu plus wine for €15.  One of the choices was Moules Mariniere....one of our favourites!  So us and our shopping settled ourselves in the busy little cafe, looking forward to our first moules this year.  We guessed that  some of the clientele were market people, so there was a lot of loud banter going on - good atmosphere!  There was a slightly more upmarket restaurant attached to the cafe but we were happy with our choice.
Henk arrived shortly after we returned to the boat and, after getting settled came over for a beer and we chatted for a while.  Crew optimistically hung the washing out - the weather has been very changeable today, with dark clouds threatening every now and again but, luckily no rain.
The usual rest and then lazy evening in front of the TV - Skips’ favourite Only Connect on tonight.  Don’t understand it......can’t answer any of the questions!!!!
