Friday 15th April
Drive to Paris. Maud the Sat Nav (named after friends dog who is small but loud)gets us a bit lost but eventually get to apartment belonging to Robs friend, near Eiffel tower. While making supper in tiny Parisian kitchen Amy and Tom announce they know the name of the flat owner and his date of birth as they have found his passport. Give small lecture on not prying and going through peoples stuff. They say they weren't.Passport was on table in sitting room. Am intrigued that flat owner is in UK with family but passport is in Paris. Maybe he is like Jason Bourne with multiple identities.
Sunday 17th April
Leave Paris. Am embarrassed that have used all loo roll in flat but unable to find any shops open nearby.
Stay in hotel in Amiens. Giant family room with enormous bathroom containing spa bath. Tom very excited by this and spends most of evening under water and by end of evening has perfected 'human prune' look. Will be irritated if this proves one abiding memory of expensive holiday.
Monday 18th April
Arrive in Brussels late evening. Quite an odd place. People we meet also odd.
Tuesday 19th April
Visit statue of pissing boy and many chocolate shops. Realise oddness of Brussels is due to it actually being quite boring. Debate leaving early and heading back to UK but decide against.
Wednesday 20th April
Depart Brussels early (Hoorah!)and arrive in Broad Chalke at 4pm. Lots of weeds but no new grass due to;
1. Lack of rain
2. Fat pigeons eating grass seed
Thursday 21st April
Zumba again. Can now do most of moves except one where you put arms out to side and shake body causing tummy/boobs to wobble seductively. When I do it nothing moves except my arms. Rather humiliating. Perhaps need to be more relaxed. Practice in front of mirror in bedroom later but no improvement. Tom walks in and gives me strange look but refrains from commenting.
