any excuse

Kat, Margaret and I went to the lake at Arques to torture ourselves with our ineptitude with watercolours - in my case, anyway.

 Very nice up there...no-one around but a fisherman 'passing the time' as there are apparently no fish.

The point of this torture is that we get to go to lunch together and yesterday we happened upon the newly-opened Perception des Saveurs Cathares at Couiza - run by the extremely agreeable geezer who had the buvette at the campsite a couple of years ago.

 There's a deal of pleasure sitting in the building where we had to queue to sort out our taxes but a few years ago :) The new owner has knocked the place around a lot and his Buffet a Volunte is amazing, his British-style fish (as in 'and chips') especially successful. Its 16 euros for as much as you want of a range of food. Puddings, where I grazed heavily, especially decent as are the salads. Going back with Claudine next week, can't wait though may have to starve myself for a few days first. Book on 09 53 56 33 50.

THEN, as if we hadn't suffered enough, Roland cooked us dinner. He did swordfish with tremendous complications and I'm feeling like a beached whale today. Vachement bien though, Merci Roland xxx
