Third Day

It was extremely foggy this morning but I was told that when there is fog in the morning, there should be good weather for the remainder of the day.

This turned out to be true and it was a beautiful day.
In fact, it became very warm and sunny and I had to take off my Barbour as it was too hot with it on!

I spent the whole day applying fungicide to the vines.
This was not too tiring and I found it quite relaxing.
The fungicide is a green/blue liquid and smells of minty toothpaste in my opinion.
I'd learned frommy previous mistake and so I brought quite a substantial lunch Pot au feu du canard and some brandade (leftover supper!).
The Pot au feu came in a jar and I just needed to heat in the microwave.
It was delcious and filling and so when Meo needed to go the post office in Arzacq (the nearest village), I followed her and went to the supermarket and bought another jar.
I also bought a jar of Poulet Basquaise and some goose rillette.

  2. Almost as good!
    What was nice was that we had it with some lemon juice which really cuts through the saltiness
