10th November
Sorted!!!
Having decided that moving about during winter is just too complicated, we have settled for a winter mooring. Our winter `home’ is in Castelsarassin - there is a marina with all facilities; a lovely town with good shops and a weekly market; easy access to Toulouse for trains/planes. [but not too near, luckily!!] There are other people living on their boats - this makes us feel less worried about leaving Havorn when we come back to UK for Christmas. So, who can get the cheapest flight to Toulouse? [Perhaps Paul could try a night of riots and then get deported….a free trip home!? He may struggle to get back though??]. The `chomages’ will be finished at the end of February, so sometime in March we will continue to head to the Med!
The weather seems to have agreed that it is time to be winter - it is definitely cool now, only 8 degrees today. But, we are well equipped with an electric heater and/or the boat’s heater which runs on diesel so we will not be cold. There are washing machines and dryers in the `capitainerie’.
Days are now filled with any combination of shopping [in town or further out, going by bike], walking with Dom, fishing, painting, writing, visiting cyber-cafes, cooking, watching local rugby, boat jobs, chatting with other boaties, knitting, sudoku, watching dvds, scrabble, crosswords, reading…each day seems to have a main project to give it some shape…how did we ever find time to go to work?
