Today was the big adventure for Carla and they were in the village so on arrival the agent had checked them in, with info and wrist bands which had to...be worn at all times. The four had a typical French breakfast of croissant, jam and good coffee, Catherine had shopped at the store in the complex and then prepared to go to the beach which was still busy with a few less bodies around, mainly because the school holiday were over, so less families with kids and the previous three months were. "No chance of that.Tonight you have to be the belle of the ball."When they broke up it was after three. David sat in his room withinstructions from Laura to rest for a couple of hours; to rest andto try to relax. Perhaps try the TV, or read. Not to brood toomuch, but to make sure he was bathed, shaved all over, smooth andsilky skinned, bright eyed and bushy tailed, by 6 o'clock when shewould drop by with a dress and accessories for the evening."There is nothing much I can add," she had said.. “I hope you don’t mind Neil” she said “Alf has gone on some seminar or something and will not be back until Monday night. I thought I would come and say hello”. I looked at Cathy. “I gave her my phone number” Cathy said. It suddenly became clear. The insistence about Sunday shopping, the large amount of food, Cathy had planned this.“Go into the lounge honey” Cathy said “leave dinner to Ruby and I”. I did as she asked. I smiled to myself. “That sneaky bitch” I thought, she had planned this. I sat in a big easy chair as directed by Karen and she climbed onto my lap. We cuddled happily.A little later, Missus Mason called us in to eat.After the prayer, we dug in having a wonderful meal. After the meal, we went into the living room for desert and coffee or more iced tea. Karen had put me in the easy chair and cuddled in my lap.We talked about the wedding. Our mothers wanted more bridesmaids and groomsmen. I reminded Karen of Todd and Joanie, Paul’s brother and sister. Missus Mason.
