PWednesday dawns frosty and cold again ... a perfect day to head to the laundrette in Chester le Street to get the clothes from the holiday washed and tumble dried, so that's how we spent a couple of hours this morning dear readers!
After that necessary chore we popped into the Arnison Centre, Marks and Spencers specifically, in search of a Christmas present for the partners Mother ... new pyjamas! After coffee and hot chocolate we headed out for home, passing a Big Issue vendor with the Christmas issue for sale which we bought as you do to read at home.
A late lunch of salmon fillets, potatoes and spinach was cooked by your talented chef and blogger ... it would be immodest to claim it was delicious and nutritious so you'd best ask the partner for her opinion!!
Tonight Morocco and France compete in the second semi-final .... France are favourites as wear Argentina but you never know with football ... as an interesting aside, French is widely spoken in Morocco since it was part of the French Empire years ago ... as your old blogger discovered when he was much younger and visited Tangier, Casablanca, Marrakesh etc hitch-hiking through the country after first visiting Andorra and Spain ... hitch-hiking again ... this mode of free travel is rather less used these days, the Bla Bla Car is quite popular with young people nowadays. As it happens dear readers, it's how your old blogger travelled from Fisterra to Santander a few years ago after another Camino de Santiago. ..
Tomorrow, who knows? Maybe Gillian the Angel of Stanhope will visit to discuss the Paphos holiday!
P.S. France 2 Morocco 0
