Monday January 4th


Our last full day of this trip
We had a few domestic chores to get through but much so much so we went down to Chatelaillon - Plage and had a goody blowy stroll along the full length of the Boulevard de la Mer. Glorious winter sunshine, not too much wind and not very many folk around. We parked by the Casino on the main rue and walked through to the esplande, heading north to the very end (actually the begining) of the Boulevard, and beyond before turning around and walking the other end. There are at least three cafes / restaurants south of Les Flots although none look to be a patch on Les Flots. The one at the very end, Les Graines de Sable, does have a wooden deck on the beach which could be very nice in the season.

On the way back home we called in to the fish stall at the Le Clerc on the road to the hospital and bought irish moules for dinner tonight.

One of the chores was to get a new gas bottle as the one that powers the hob ran out the other day. We had our "spare" in stock so this was just a question of replacing the spare. It wiil be interesting to see how long this one lasts. As best as we can remeber the exhausted bottle was left by the Azzapardi's when we bought the house in December 2007.

Very cold again today - below freezing but we have not turned off the kitchen heater since we last got it going on Saturday afternoon so the downstairs has maintained a steady 20c throughout. Our flight back is scheduled to leave around 6.00pm so fingers crossed for it not being effected by the weather. we have rather a lot to do back in the UK.
