28th August 2009 Friday St Julien-sur-Dheune C. du Centre.

Warm and sunny. Had a lazy morning. The Locaboat left at lock opening time, 9.00 a.m. Did a few chores then made lunch. After lunch we went by car to Chalon via the scenic route through Villeneuve on the D48 and the Bourgogne vineyards to Casto. We took the laptop with us to get 3G and do the blog. Parked on Casto’s car park and set up. The stupid inverter wouldn’t work so I used my fifteen minutes of battery time (by the time I’d connected up, etc) to upload a couple of photos and posted three of the draft blogs. Mike went in Casto and bought a tin of brown paint, 20,50€, two 20mm brushes at 2.60€ each and a pack of sanding pads for the delta sander for 7€ - 32,70€! Ouch! We went back home via the scenic route
