Today the high temperature is 12C (53F) with a cold breeze and rain – not a bad day for January – but it’s May for Pete’s sake. Yesterday wasn’t much better and the next few day don’t look great. Just as well we didn’t plan much for May as there aren’t many places to go.
Our friends Jill and Frank in Détente set off for the Canal du Centre a couple of days ago hoping it would open in the 15th when the authorities said repairs to the collapsed bank would be completed (the top pound of the canal is empty). Now it looks like the end of next week! With more rain today and forecast, who knows. Fortunately our first set of visitors don’t arrive until the start of June.
Meanwhile we spend our day cooped up on the boat with occasional excursions outside between showers. Some dress appropriately.
And others don’t.
The only reminder that this is indeed spring are all the blossoms and the wildflowers. If we ever see the sun again it will be delightful once more. But not right now………
