Safe as...

...obviously terror issues are always in the back of the mind and all we can do is go about our holiday as if nothing is happening but being mindful to stay away from any areas that lend themselves to what the scum have in mind.

In Montpellier every time we are out we always see a pod of four well armed soldiers strolling through the area - today there were at least two pods out in the vicinity of Place de La Comedie the main gathering point it would seem in Montpellier 


I certainly wouldn't want to be around if these guys let rip with their weapons but just seeing them and numerous police cars around gives one a since of comfort.

A quiet day otherwise today - a stroll into the city to allow Sherry to have a look at more shops and after finishing I am told that there are others she wishes to call into.

 If someone can tell why shops are magnets to ladies I would be indebted however I can't complain too much as she did find a shoe store that had my size of sandals and for the princely sum of only €15.

Returned to the apartment mid afternoon as the wind came up and the temperature went down and we were not really dressed for what felt like 18-20 degrees.

Followed qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix online as couldn't get it on the TV and found that Monza Italy is currently being bombarded with rain while here the sky stays relatively free of any sign of rain.

Later we will go back into the city for dinner.
