Day 4/5: Chucks perspective

First of all I would like apologise to my avid reader for not posting day 4 blog. It was a technical error due to the errant purchase of lemoncello (for medicinal purposes).


So here we go.


Day 4: chucks perspective

The day started strange, instead of bright sunshine, small translucent specs fell from the sky. This was the strange bit. 


Aaron looked at me, I looked at Aaron, Aaron looked at Forbsey, Forbsey looked at Aaron (you get the idea) you could call it a Mexican look off.


A loud clap of thunder broke the silence and put a look on Forbsey face like the one he had after finishing the Radon sausage. Aaron said what is this witchcraft and promptly put on some PPE and what looked like a radioactive blanket and immediately cycled off into the distance.


My idea, that we take comfort and shelter in a bar until the whole thing passed was dismissed. So we all set off braving the magic liquid crystals.


Soon the magic crystals disappeared and were replaced by fluffy sheep in the sky. After that the big orange thing came out. It became warm, then hot, the very hot and we prayed for the ‘air sheep’ to return and they did. We all smiled except for Aaron who took off his PPE but kept his radio active blanket on. Apparently he was taking no chances.


When we got to the outskirts of Nantes Aaron and Forbesy formed a quasi government alliance that moved us of the velodyssy and to a place that I called “lost”.  I exercised my block vote of 3 and we headed for the big building. Soon we were at our hotel. A big upgrade from Forbsey’s shed but with no pool. So not so much of an upgrade in reflection.


Later Aaron and Forbesy decided to sabotage my blog entry by leading me into a false sense of security and bought more wine. With this my technical ability diminished and despite wearing my festival shirt I pressed the wrong button and lost a great/average literary work.


Sorry but blame the boys. See photo on instagram. (you know I will get him back, stay tuned!!!)


Things Chuck forgot

To press save when doing day 4: Chucks perspective. This was due in the most part to a bottle of lemoncello I bought for medicinal purposes and clear sabotage by the boys.


Things that Chuck remembered

To eventually get undressed



Day 5: chucks perspective

Yes reader a bumper edition.


The day started well and Aaron got us lost, but only a little bit lost.


Apparently Aaron was having a dry day. When we got to a bar. I asked what are we having. Forbesy and I were having Heineken when I asked did he (Aaron) want a beer he said yes and in addition

said that you can’t come all the way to France to order a Dutch beer I said ok what do you want and he promptly orders a German beer.  So much for a dry day.


He did later have a ‘dry’ cider. I call that irony.


Things that Chuck forgot

You can’t trust Forbsey


Things that Chuck remembered

You can’t trust Forbsey


We are currently in an air B and B that has sheep as lawn mowers.


Aaron is sitting next to me and has recovered the ability to snore.


So from a shed to sheep well done Forbesy next I expect we will be in a teepee😂😂😂
