10h00 – Got the bicycles out and took a ride to Chatillon Coligny market. Nice trip via the baker’s at Aillant sur Vernisson, had breakfast and coffee in the village square. It turns out that the bakerey and the bar are inteconneted. So on to Chatillon and the matket? Found a wood tuner’s shop and bought some apples and mushrooms (inedible). He offered courses in wood-tuning. Came home via Rogny les sept ecluses where we stopped for another coffee. Just as we were nearing Champcervrais I was starting to get tired. At last we arrived home 48km (30 miles), took a rest and intended to do some stretching to try to alleviate the cramps but didn’t. Did drink a lot of water though.
19h00 – Roger phoned up about his new cooker, I said I would go to his house on Sat noght and have a look. I looked up the model name on the web and found it rated at 4.8kW that’s 37 amps, a good pice of 6mm cable and a 32A trip is required according to the French Norms. That means rewiring!
23h00 – Got the cramp in both inner thighs at the same time, had to shout tio get P to help. Took some horse-chesnut extract, salt and some more water.
