Felt pretty sluggish all day. Went to the market which was busy with tourists, mostly Spanish and the usual clutch of Brits in sandals and lightweight clothing. Went to the Auberge du Chêne for a late lunch where we were invited to join Papy who lives in the village and was celebrating his 89th birthday with his family. By the time we made it home there was just time for a cuppa before we went out to watch the "Goigs dels Ous", the Catalan version of Easter carols. The singers processed around the village singing and in return received eggs, saucisson and bottles of wine. These will be used next weekend for a pascale omlette. What a shame that after weeks of no rain, it came down just at the moment they started. Still, it gave us an excuse to retire to the bar.
