Cockahoop

Another painful night, but I think I slept a little more. I spent some time banging off a few emails, and Jacqui surprised me by making a coq au vin casserole for me to take home for dinner this evening.

Jacqui drove me back to the house in Bergerac via a supermarket where I stocked up on some essential items. Rich and Andi were due to arrive from Zurich this afternoon, and I gingerly walked down to the quay to meet them. It was so good to see them both and they cheered me up no end – it was so good to be able to talk about things other than the accident. We dined on cêpes soup, Jacqui’s fantastic coq au vin (I was tempted to lie and say I had made it – but I’m too honest) and an almond and pear tart.
