Woke up to see it was going to be a cracking day for solar but having just returned only a kilowatt so it must have been hazy today.

First job of the morning was running the empty plastic and glass down to the communal recycling. 1.2 Kms of cycle route but it meant we had to pass the vineyard shop we thought was closed. It wasn't. 10 minutes later and we had our 4 boxes of rose at 3 euros a litre. No need for tasting. We use an introvenous drip we have had it before.

Crepes with Nutella and cream was breakfast of choice again before cycling off to st Pierre about a km away.
I had noted several pizza huts on the way through France and seen them before but I saw this one and it seemed to do burgers as well.
Stopped and had a chat and they cook the meals themselves bung them in the vending machine and there are instructions on how long to cook it in one of the 2 microwaves provided. So good I contacted The Man at work saying we needed 4 of them and he's on it like a car bonnet.

Editing in a mention of fort boyard.
Napoleonic fortress built to protect from the English but made into a secure prison almost upon completion it is known locally as "fort of the useless" but has come to fame through a TV series that is still running called Fort Boyard and our Crystal Maze is based on it.
