Sunny and getting warmer, breeze still chilly. Got up late feeling extremely fed up. Did a few chores then after lunch then we went out in the car to test the new Internet dongle. We tried several places, up in the village of Mailly-le-Château and then Mailly-la-Ville, it wouldn’t work in either. Tried again in Lucy-sur-Yonne, just out of the village (put the chip in the phone and there were two bars on Bouygues) and it started up but wouldn’t open any pages on the net. Drove to Coulanges and Mike went in the Post Office and sent the old one back in a prepaid envelope (do it within 15 days they said or pay 45€!) then drove into Clamecy where we knew we could get 3G+. Parked by Aldi in the shade and checked banks and emails. Back home via the scenic route, quiet except for following the school bus slowly through two or three villages. Mike went to ask if the neighbours fancied a BBQ. Nope, too much fluff off the trees and lots of insects – as an iridescent ground beetle crawled over my feet. Mike spotted a very unusual looking fish basking in the shallow corner by the back ends of the boats. He took some photos and we were convinced it was not a native species. Pity we have no Internet to try to identify it. ANY IDEAS????
