After Melanie's bad nights sleep she didn't stop moaning she was phoning and texting everybody windging even to her brother in Australia. I am such a positive person and she was making me hate camping!. We had decided to go and see Paul from Eymet immobilier and to get a photo of his work place which we did and what a place it is. Colourful photo's of properties surround the shop with elegant arm
chairs and plumped cushions in every corner.We continued to visit a few more people in the town and then we went to see the Mairie to see if we could visit the hall. We were asked to go out the back to another office and we arranged a rendezvous for the afternoon. We said good and I said that we would see the lady at the Salle des fetes no she replied at the Salle Polyvalent. Horror hit me as we have just had 500 posters printed with Salle des fetes printed. What to do next?. We had spent all day Thursday putting up posters and handing out leaflets in Eymet and what with the moaning of Melanie I just wanted to scream. Focus, focus, focus I kept telling myself and decided to ring my husband Rob. I asked him to change all of the originals to correct the name and he found a printers in Bergerac that could print another 500 copies. Our next step was to ring Albert at the Language school to see if Rob could send by email the amended poster. "Yes" he replied "no problem". When we found him I was too stressed for words and Melanie was still repeating " I hate camping". We all went for a sandwich and ate in the grounds of the language school Chateau. Got to admit I did chill for a bit at this point. After Albert showed us where the printers were off we went. While I was making the copies Melanie looked a cross and said "shall I ring that nice lady who has a mobile home and see if we can stay there tonight". With heat rising from the photocopier and it being about 28 degrees outside I replied "do what you want but we are going to Alberts for dinner and the tent will take a while to pack away"!. In a flash the mobile home was booked. A smile appeared across Melanie's face like an uncontrolled bush fire. She was already dreaming of swimming in the beautiful pool. Quickly finishing our printing we realized that we had 15 minutes to reach Eymet to see the Salle. We got there and all was okay but we still had two meetings in Eymet one with the Tandoori and one with a Satellite company and to get the tent down. We had our meetings and two stands were booked. We then went back to
the tent. We texted Albert and asked him to bring the food and we would prepare dinner at our new location.Well the mighty erection took seconds to come down it was the fastest I had seen Melanie move in three days . Everything put very neatly in the back of my car. It now means of course that we need to stay another day to put the new posters up.
Arriving in our new location for 6pm and expecting Albert sometime after 7pm Melanie suggested going for a swim. She almost skipped there with joy. Look at her in the pool she was loving it!!.
After returning from the pool Melanie prepared a salad and I went to light the BBQ. S
hiney bright utensils I thought how wonderful. I started to light it and dropped the spatular which had a very sharpe edge and it sliced my finger. I can't look a blood by the way I tend to fall in a heap!!. Melanie reached for our new Lidl first aid kit in the back if the car and ran to get some cream. Meanwhile not looking at my cut finger holding my arm away Albert arrived wondering what I was doing. Melanie did come back not sure if she might of grabbed a swim as I was bleeding to death and it was quite some time before she returned. I think she was getting me back for taking her camping LOL!!.Well Albert did us proud, we had food fit for a king and queen. We had so much to eat and drink and laughed all night exchanging more funny stories. We really needed that after the day we had had.
The evening finished at midnight and we waved our friend goodbye.
Today Saturday is going to be really busy replacing all of our posters and visiting all the towns. Melanie has just woken up happy with her new location. Thank goodness for that eh!!.
Until next time
Amanda and Melanie
