The Girlie goes Fishing!
The Girlie and I bought our fishing permits last week and today we decided to try them out.
After an obligatory beer at La Taverne, we wandered down to the canal, bunged a poor worm on the hook and proceeded to drown it.
I was rather hoping for a nice Zander or two but, the fish must have heard that we were coming and swum away.

The highlight of the Girlie's session must have been when I decided to clamber down the bank to get a perfect photo and slipped!
I managed to stop myself tumbling into the canal (much to the Girlie's disgust) but I was a little shock and did have to re-visit La Taverne afterwards for a little drinkie poos!)

| The Girlie pretending to concentrate on fishing! | Still pretending to concentrate... | Not concentrating now..... | Shouldn't she be watching the float? |

| Ah, good! She's concentrating now. | It didn't last long! | You'll never catch a fish if you don't watch your float! | Guess we won't be having fish and chips for tea after all! |

And the jacket....
All too late did I remember that I had, the day before, bought a lucky hat. Mainly for mushrooming but, had I been wearing it, I'm sure that we would have had more success!
Still, there's always next time!
Just as we had finished with our little post-fishing drink (to calm my nerves), a voice called out... "Hello Keith and Jilly" - I looked round and there were two disreputable types sitting outside the Creperie.
Now, I'm used to being accosted by random drunks and nutters. It's almost as if I've got a sign above my head (invisible to all but the drunk and the insane), that says.. "Come and talk to me - I'll be your friend!"
These two (and I'm not sure which category they fit into), turned out to be virtual friends from Brittany-Friends.com - neither the Girlie or I had ever met them before but they had recognised us. We had a little chat before going home to find something to eat - obviously, as the Girlie had totally failed me, it wasn't going to be Fish and Chips!
All the best
Keith
