Today I wee'd in the sand...

So, today is the first day of my six day holiday and France has held out for me, it is GORGEOUS! The sun was out and shining this morning and gloriously hot so I did what any true English girl did:
Put on a strappy tee (That Fav Night top Kate), a Henry Holland Jumper, my thick wool short cardy, my long wool cardy and my Kate Spade bow ear warmers. The sun might be out and shining but Calais wind is unreal!

I packed my beach bag - including my old school towel and all my WSET stuff and I headed on down to the beach. Although it was beautiful the wind was chilling cold and after half an hour I was ready to call it quits. But, for some reason, I thought I might try sitting in the dunes, they weren't massively deep so the sun still hit the whole place but it was just deep enough to sit it and be out of the wind, which I did, for about five hours.

Now, anyone that knows me know's how much water I drink. And five hours and a few liters of water later I was fit to burst, so I did what any good Northern Lass did - I went into the next dune, dug myself a little trench (considering my location this is an apt description) and I did a wee. Now I can't say it was my finest moment, but I didn't want to miss any of the sun and the flat was a good twenty minute walk away. It was either that or wee myself. And lets be honest, I didn't do it in the dune I was in - and coincidentally, I know exactly which is (affectionately termed) 'My Dune', so I won't go and sit in my wee one.

So at around 4 I wandered back to the flat (it was starting to fill up with school kids - not a pleasant experience in any country) and had a quick power nap - it was a stressful time - and then headed off out to Bureau to (yet again) steal their internet to download more songs so I can have some more music - my iPod is driving me nuts.

Anyway, this is all. I am off to have another WSET day on the beach tomorrow and then off to Dunkirk on Wednesday - which I will no doubtedly bore you to death with.

Tonight I am drinking €11 Cotes du Rhone Villages (Bureau) - Fuckin'Bangin!
