Out of the frying pan and into the fire. My first holiday in five years I'm in the Dordogne without a car walking into the local village in 36 degrees today. Two bars and no shop either.15 euros each way to the nearest town. I'm consuming more water than is going on the crops. PS: Meant to tell you - had a couple of Dubonnets & Lemonade in honour of your hol yesterday evening - deelish, and so refreshing in the heat with lemon slices and plenty of ice! Cheers! Thanks for that Murph it's much appreciated. Given that our only remaining bar is closed today thanks to the road guys tearing through the water and electrics ice isn't on the menu today. Bloody better be tomorrow.

My Mrs has booked the family into a luxury tree house in Devon ( whatever that means ) at the end of July for a week so the weather will break and we will have violent thunderstorms and tropical rain storms for the whole week , I did ask her to book something that was going to be easy on my knees 😂 How far is the fall Harry?

I'm wondering if Harry's wife came from a long family line of torturers or if it's a skill that has somehow - irresistibly - 'naturally evolved' since she's been married to him?

It's in the grounds of a hotel called the fox and hounds if you can do the link I'll move into the hotel if it doesn't look safe 😉

That's the one murf 👍 Looks alright doesn't it Yeah. Watched the film, and it's going to be great if you want a wildlife hol - just think of all those fat little mozzies - it mentions that your balcony overlooks the lake, so they'll be constant companions and will love you - they especially adore sinking their sharp little fangs into targets who can't really move all that fast.

Just be grateful you're not taking part in the Tour de France which starts next weekend, now that would be an uncomfortable cycling tour ! By the way, not an Andouillet to be seen anywhere thank goodness. Vomiting cancelled. 😊

Have you got the old red and white stripes ready for tonight ? Do you reckon the locals will be on "our side" or supporting the Colombians, or are they basically indifferent to any other country than France ?

I'm hoping they've reconnected the water and electrics to the bar otherwise I'm stuffed. They still run the cables across the road and perch the TV on the wall but I suspect I might be the only viewer. Sunday night was two hours of watching the French train! with a sideshow of commentary. I'll get my host to phone up first and see if they're open. 15 minutes walk in this heat isn't brilliant.

Betcha the locals will be supporting the other side, Dees, regardless of whichever country it is. They won't want us to win - they've never got over Trafalgar or Waterloo (** punches the air**). The only chance Chuff's got to get their backing is to look sad and tell them Napoleon was 'really unlucky'. Worth a try.

Just look at what you have missed out on I could quite easily do that just thinking about the darned things. Only the French eh. I think I'd rather sprinkle some vinegar on a bit of road kill, at least it's been tenderised.

My taxi driver who's brought me back from town twice now reckons a France England final would be great. He genuinely wants us to win!!. Weirdo. Nice bloke mind.
