Today is 100% chance of rain, meaning it was raining when we got up, it's raining now, and it's supposed to rain all day. We still got our croissants and Janis scrambled eggs and fried up our leftover duck fat potatoes. A satisfying breakfast.

We're all on our iPads and computers. Kim managed to get in a walk between showers and is now working the morning crossword. Janis has done Wordle, Quordle and Connections and has posted to Facebook. She also did 3 loads of laundry. (Before you are too effusive in congratulations, you should know that this is a European washer with a much smaller capacity than our big washers.) Clark is researching wineries near here. And I finished yesterday's blog post. It's embarrassing to be 2 days behind when you've only been here 4 days.
The mountains have disappeared today and its grey and foggy, so our activité du jour is a trip to the grocery store, the "hyper Intermarché," in Pamiers.

It's one of those mega stores that sells everything. Small specialty stores (like a chocolatier) line the outside of the entrance corridor with the store checkouts across the wide opening of the Intermarché.

Lists in hand, we split up for efficiency, although we spend a lot of time searching aisles for each other.

Once finished at Intermarché, we stopped next door at Mr Bricolage which is like a Home Depot. We bought a chair for Lynn. Our green dining chairs make Lynn's legs fall asleep because she isn't tall enough.
Shopping finished, we returned home and Dave got out apéros and a bottle of Tavel. Dinner will be late tonight. No plans for tomorrow yet. It's still supposed to be rainy.
