Public Holiday ... not for some. We were up as early as usual to fulfill our civic duty by following the well worn routine. I seem to be saying that a lot recently. Anyway, military convoy up to the other village for a wreath laying and refreshment at the restaurant; more wreath laying, speeches, presentation of medals, sardane and a "republican" apéritif in the square. After that all of us ate at the bar. The evening's fireworks were absolutely fabulous and earnt lots of ooohs and ahhhhs and a spontaneous round of applause at the end. Feeling quite tired, we didn't stay around for the disco as tomorrow there will be another early start.
