We went to the post office and then Lidl where I rewarded myself for getting up and out early with a favourite treat, focaccia brie, for lunch. In fact I got 2 of them so I have another one for tomorrow. 😋
Then Mr. C popped into Super U for some Weetabix.
We rounded off the trip at Intermarche where we got the ingredients so I can make another pot of beef stew - this time with dumplings.

An early start to be at the hospital for 09:30. Sarah took me in the mini and we arrived in plenty of time. Indeed, I wasn't seen until 10:15 as there were others before me. The medication is working well, but the doctor believes an operation will be necessary in January.
On a brighter note, I had another helping of Fair Damsel's stew for lunch and another for dinner: I made mashed potatoes in an effort to contribute and the meal went down a treat. Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious😋
All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

A restful day spent indoors. We watched an interesting documentary about M.R. James, on YouTube, followed by the first episode of 'I Claudius' starring Derek Jacobi.
Fair Damsel prepared a Sunbeamadelicious beef stew which went down a treat with 'Midsommers Murders'.😋
All's well in our world,Sunbeams.

To Vitre this AM for Mr. C's latest scan. All is well.
We passed some artistic signs for the Tour de France and an agricultural festival I was sorry to have missed. I would have enjoyed the most beautiful cow contest.
The yellow crane is an inside joke about our trip to St. Malo when we got lost trying to get back to our camper, "Well, it was by the big yellow crane!" We could see the crane. We just couldn't find a street that led to it. 😂
The manager also kindly let me take the display strip and hook as well. So my new yarn is hung neatly where I can stare at it with my ridiculously happy grin. I'm going to learn the Willow Square. I'm going to make the squares with the coloured yarn and join them with the white.

I'm watching the annual Bastille Day Parade on YouTube and giggling as I hope someone shows the 🍊🍆🥔 the videos. The tanks are impressive. The service members are proud and precise. The dignitaries are standing respectfully, not lolling bored in their seats. Happy crowds are cheering. I hope DJT is eating his heart out!
We just got back from grocery shopping. We had to make sure we have enough milk and such to last until Tuesday. Tomorrow the Tour de France comes through our village so what roads aren't closed will be choked with parked cars from spectators. Then Monday is Bastille Day and everything will be closed. I just made Mr. C a tomato sandwich for his tea. I'm having humus and bakery fresh bread.
😋
I also harvested the tomatoes from my poor plant which succumbed to the heat. They're not worth eating as the skin is like leather, but I'll save the seeds to put in my raised garden bed. They were so hot from the sun that I think they're pre-cooked.
🍅🥵
I didn't use the tomatoes from our garden for Mr. C's sandwich. 😂

After visiting the pharmacy in La Guerche, I waited in the camper while Mr. C cycled to the bank. I had just enough time to snap a picture of this group, apparently some kind of tour, as they rode past in a carriage, drawn by a beautiful horse, before they turned the corner.

A cooler start with a thunderstorm saw us heading to Intermarche for supplies. It soon warmed up but is still comfortable.
Fair Damsel finally identified Rincewind with this photograph taken after a rather enthusiastic bath splashed her. He/she/they is/are a European starling.
