Day 41 : Wheelies in the Dark
-Puoy- I stayed far past check-out time, not that it was remotely enforced – no newcomers had arrived last night, and it had simply been too damn wet to contemplate outside-of-tent relocation, so I stayed put, listened to the rowdy breakfasts being prepared by the Gray Nomads from last night.…

-Interlude-
Long time no see! Happy to report that I am, in fact, alive and kicking, and did not end up dying of dramatism, or pesto poisoning, or even just pure exhaustion. In hindsight, the “November by the latest” catchup is positively hilarious, but I do apologise for disappearing on you…

Day 40 : ‘You Can’t Leave the Harbour Till You Fix The Broken Anchor Winch’, As the Fijian Philosophers Say
-Condom- I was too excited to sleep last night – not entirely sure why. It’s something about actual beds; whenever I had them I wanted to spend as long as possible being on them, to the point where sleeping felt like a weird thing to do, because then bed would…

Day 39 : Call Me Mr. Bananagrams
-Lectoure- My first fevered wakeup happens at 12.19am, where I find myself bolt upright, bleary and delirious, without a sleeping bag, disgusting and damp. I can’t get to Condom AND get food. To make it I’d leave too early, and get to the town with a shop in the midday…

Day 38 : Firsts, Seconds, and Bootcamps
-Auvillar- I think of all the nights so far, yesterdays was most disorientating. My switch to the other side of the table had been great for my peace of mind, just not so great for my eyes, which were now absolutely blinded by the yellow streetlights. I’d doubled up; sleep…

Day 37 : Nice to Meet You, Garonne
-Moissac- I woke up laaaaate today. Nearing on 10.00am – because honestly? Screw being a morning person, it was too fucking tiring, and more importantly, too fucking cold. I could honestly probably be persuaded if the general damp-and-freezing part of it didn’t exist but alas, it did. Tonight would be…

Day 36 : A Balanced Diet
-???- This might shock you, but I woke up freezing. I also woke up to the pitch dark, despite my very overeager alarm telling me it’s now 6.45am – but the stars don’t care, just continue glittering on in the cosmos. I forgot days got shorter in winter, so that’ll…

Day 35 : Halfways and Full Sends
-Trigodina- So my roommate last night seemed intent on winning the Worlds Loudest Snorer competition, and has, so far, thrashed the Danish couple from earlier. They seem like little mice in comparison; I found out later that the Whistling Guy had actually left in the middle of the night and…

Day 34 : Well That’s One Way to Bring the Saltwater Back
-???- Cadabra! Hello again :] I figured I’d stick with the trying new things,,, thing, and greet you at the start. Who knows, maybe it’ll stick (or not)! Anyway, this one had an alternative/working title for a while of ‘Incredibly Privileged Petulant Child Cries About Nothing (Again)’, so just,, have…
