Lots of satisfaction

After he made up a four for tennis this morning, Rob, and his mother, left today, (oh joy, the third trip to the airport at Nîmes this week) so it's back to a quiet house for a few days. Josh is no trouble and clip clops around the house on his crutches. He and I had a bit of fun fiddling with his 40 Gig laptop, that was creaking under the weight of all his music. We connected a 120 Gig external hard drive, that we didn't need, and transferred all his music 'off shore'. That was quite satisfying. (It doesn't take much to keep you happy! - Ed)

Tonight it was off to Chez Vero for a bite to eat and to watch the, must win, England vs Tonga World Cup rugby match on a very big screen. All in all, it was an interesting experience. Our table of fifteen was set down the middle of this old cave cooperative and there were lots of other tables set around. The proprietor, obviously an old rocker, had quite a sophisticated sound and light system so that every time England scored a try he had flashing lights and loud music to celebrate the event. It certainly added to the atmosphere. Any of the other diners, looking for a quiet night out, must have been sadly disappointed but no one seemed to mind and everyone joined in the party atmosphere. One old guy took a fancy to Josh and even asked him were he was sleeping tonight. Thank goodness he had his mother there to protect him! It was a great laugh.

Anyway, England won and now go through to play Australia next Saturday. They'll need quite a bit of luck with that match!

After the match we were treated to a Rolling Stones concert with the rock pensioners belting out some of their 'old masters' all on a huge screen that made you feel part of the audience. A good night.
