Week 3 - October 15-21

Saturday, October 15

Beautiful weather, we just chill at home.
We are enjoying the house and neighborhood.

I sit and read on the Juliet balcony

John reads in the park at HIS bench

Our walk for the day

Sunday, October 16

We talk to Dave via messenger,
find out he won't be visiting us in Rivel
(but maybe in Pau) 😂

The artist reception at the Mairie

Then we walk up to the Eglise...

Scandius at Eglise Ste Cécile

-----

After attending the performance, I googled the group...

After the concert, we watch some Prime Video...

GOLIATH
(I think we will be binging this show)

Monday, October 17

It's the Mirepoix Market Day

Our goods from the Marché and
the SuperU

We meet a Danish couple, Eva and Knud Jensen,
 at the charging station in Mirepoix.

We exchange emails.

Afternoon respite after
Mirepoix Marché

While John reads in the park, I Whatsapp with Christie Michel Diman
and then later with Anthony

Tuesday, October 18

Forgot some things for the week while in Mirepoix
 and need to charge the car 
so we make a trip to Chalabre

Lunch at Hotel de France

  

Note the horses tied up across the street.

The riders are eating on the porch of the Hotel

While waiting for our car to finish charging, we sit in the square...
then find bike rentals - maybe.

This might be an option, too.

John has gotten an email from Knud
- a light lunch and tour of Axat
- we accept the invite for Thursday

Wednesday, October 19

A nothing exciting day...

The best thing that happened...
Mohmed, our neighbor across the street, gave us these pears from a neighbor's tree.

Gave us 3, we already ate one - yummy.

Thursday, October 20

Problems with lights again. 
Jo has to come by and help.
We turn off the electric heaters; lights back on
Jo shows us how to use the pellet stove 

Wow! It works great!

Now off to Axat 
A 30 minute drive, but fabulous views!

Once we get to Axat, Knud takes us to the Eglise
where one can view the whole village

 

After lunch we have coffee in their backyard

The drive home

What a lovely day.

Tour of another village.

Making new friends.

Beautiful 30 minute drive.

Friday, October 21

Nothing planned today.

Weather is meh!

It's blog day for me.

We make a quick trip to Chalabre for a few things and then we just hang out at home.

Weekend plans are minimal, if any.

Let's see what adventures we can create!

See you all next Week.
