Jane surfaced at 7.15 and went out for fresh bread. We had boiled egg for breakfast and they seemed to have more yolk than albumen. We walked down to the Citreon garage to investigate having the Berlingo serviced. Had half an hour of comedy trying to make ourselves understood and when we achieved this we were told - impossible this week. Did some shopping at Monoprix for dinner tonight and came home for a rest. We had a lazy day really but we did do the washing. We went out about 2.30 to visit the Abbey - big mistake - it was far too hot and the place was closed on Tuesdays!
We came home to find the computer's hard drive had failed. Merde! We drove out to a large commercial centre with huge supermarkets to look at either getting it repaired or maybe buy a new one. New computer far too expensive in France and a repair takes weeks even if they dare touch an English one. Came home and cooked fillet steak and salad for dinner with a very nice wine that cost 5 euros at a local supermarket.

Further updates on the blog will be more intermittent from now on as we will be relying on the availability of Internet Cafes.
