Matchpoint

I wasn't going to write today since it's late and I'm pretty tired but I don't like writing about 2 days in the same entry as I forget to write some of the things I've done. Today was a super active day. I worked in the morning, tidying the stables - the goats are arriving tomorrow. So I had to do some weeding. I had to clear a corner of the yard completely covered in thorns, that took me a while. It was nice working in the garden doing something unrelated to vineyard-work. We found an old washing-machine hidden under the thorns.
After lunch I walked to the nearby town of Laure Minervois - but got there at 3pm so everything was shut, and the Boulangerie doesn't open on Tuesdays anyway :(
So I walked back to the farm and picked some flowers on the way back for the kitchen. It was still really sunny; so I decided to get the bike and cycle to Caunes, where I knew the Boulangerie doesn't close on Tuesdays. I bought myself a croissant aux amandes (so so yummy and calorie-packed) and an apple pie for Marie and François. I also bought some tobacco for the guys, they smoke like chimneys. This is pretty much the only money I've spent since being here, incredible.
I cycled back and it was really great so be up on a bike again. When I got back Martin suggested a tennis match (there's a court not far from us) and that was really fun too. I haven't played in so long, so I made a fool of myself but Martin said it was ok because I kept laughing, and not getting angry instead.
So all in all it's been quite a sporty day - very much needed after all the bread and butter I'm eating here.
Tomorrow's my last day here. How fast time goes by.
