Raining - what timing Pt 2

(cont. from below). .....
Today, Sunday, was the first day of any rain and it rained pretty much
all day. So, we lounged in bed till late for us, rolled down the hill
to town and, soaked, went and had another bad French coffee. The
market wasn't stopped by rain and we wandered about buying bread and
produce for dinner.
We then found a groovy looking brasserie and managed to secure a table
upstairs looking down over the band playing frenchy-gypsy stuff on
guitar and accordion. Drinking cider, rose and eating well (steak,
rabbit casserole, lentil soup, meat balls) whilst listening to the
music was a great way to miss most of the rain.
By mid-afternoon, when rain had eased, we ground our way back home
(the hill is a bit like mike & wendy's road only steeper) to lie
about, read and have a swim.
