Friday, 19 October, 2018 – Nice, low 20s

This chateau is a bed and breakfast place so we go down at 8:00 for the breakfast. There is a Korean couple there ahead of us. They are nice people.

The kids came in from Paris late last night. They indicate that they want to be on the road early tomorrow to go back to Paris. Julie is ready to go by around 8:15, they all eventually don’t get away until after 10:30.

I had a chicken roll left over from the first night. There was tons of chicken still left.

Emma drove off in her car for the day leaving me alone with the maid who was cleaning the room vacated by the Korean couple. The maid tried to talk with me but she knew no English and I knew very little French. She did clean up after my lunch and chicken deboning. When she finished and departed I was all alone in the Chateau.

Over time, suburbia had moved into the area overwhelming the castle. Parts of the castle were taken by the neighbours.

We had ordered food from a relatively new cook and delivery service which Emma had been closely aligned with. The idea is that your order the food online, they cook it and bring it hot to your place in a short time. Emma had helped me order since my PC was acting up. Delivery was to be 7:00 PM.

Julie arrived back around 6:30. The delivery guy showed up about 5 past 7:00, which was OK. Finally, shortly after the delivery guy had left, Emma returned home

I had ordered way too much food and could only eat about half of the veal. We also ordered a spicy tapenade of air dried tomatoes and a bottle of French wine which we got into once we finished the other French one we had opened earlier.
