Monday 9th August 2010 Haute Rives. Day off.

8.6°C - single figures!! A chilly night after all those open skies. Hotter and sunny with big white fluffy clouds. The skipper of the pénichette returned briefly in his car and the guy from the house came out to talk to him. (He’d already told us that another tjalk lives here but is away on holiday, at present on the Saône at Corre so he won't be back for several weeks) Mike got on with some jobs - lifting the section of floor in front of the shower to clean and re-oil the bottom plate. Paused for lunch. After lunch Mike carried on drilling holes (for oiling the bottom plate), one in the floorboards between the set of drawers and the bed and one in the wardrobe, then one in the keelson close to the front doors (likewise for oiling the bottom plate). The night sky was clear again so we spotted several meteors.
