Rain. Bah!
There's a reason the Pyrenees are so
green....
Rain.
Lots of rain in fact... It hasn't stopped since it's arrival was announced with
a thunderclap late yesterday afternoon. It's not nice rain either, it's the kind
that comes down in solid rods and is freezing cold with it..... Well, it's
always a risk in the mountains, especially this time of year - I guess the
countryside is as green as it is for a reason..... I'm not too bothered, the
snorers were at it again last night so I'm feeling distinctly ropey today and
rain is the perfect excuse for a day off. I brought my wet weather gear but
staying in and drinking tea is my preferred option
today.
So... Not much to write about today except the epic game of Trivial Pursuit, haven't played for years, but some beers made it sillier than perhaps it should have been once the layer of dust had been scraped off the box.
4pm.... Brain death. It's a public holiday today being the 1st and all that so no point in going anywhere, rural France is graveyard quiet today, the country is shut! I shall see about getting some ZZZzzzzs I think, see ya.
9pm.... Yippee, i have a room to myself so maybe a night of peace and quiet will sort me out, away from the heavy breathing, spluttering and snoring.... I fear though the damage has been done, I might have got away with one sleepless night when riding hard - but not two.
Due to lack of cycling and just to keep you amused, here's a pic of the view from the window... but before the rain! Pretty little village isn't it?!
