Interesting psychology.

For humans another week in lockdown. For Sophie another week for getting up at six and heading off for a long walk across the fields in search of  adventure. 

Life has not been entirely devoid of excitement. Eight walkers came into the village yesterday. They sat and had a lengthy pre-walk lunch at the picnic table at the side of the village hall. The table seats six comfortably but is quite 'cosy' when occupied by eight. None of them wore masks - presumably because they felt eating outside made it safe. We find the psychology of mask wearing to be interesting.

This morning the hunters are up and about at first light. Fifty or so of them in the Salle des fetes kitchen having a briefing on this mornings plans. Through the plate glass windows Angus observes that  mask wearing is not a thing with the local hunting, shooting and fishing crowd. Not a mask to be seen. Angus also has the feeling that another, stricter, lockdown is coming to France.

A drink from the drainage ditch and a second drink from the stream. A log has somehow become stuck between the bank and the waterfall. The log is carefully examined but then dismissed as having no 'snackable' value. The mud on the riverbank is covered in boar, deer and badger paw prints. These are also carefully examined. Our morning progress is conducted at a glacial 'sniff every flower' pace.

Perhaps the family diva will have better luck on her quest for excitement during  her post-breakfast walk down to the river ?
