The weather was evil in Reims last night, so I didn't bother walking to the
special bar[1] I spotted last time I was there.

My room was in an Aparthotel, so had a kitchenette. There was a Champion
supermarch� 200m along the road so I bought some Charolais steak, bread,
salad & beurre[2] plus 2x 750ml "premium cidre" and had a "quiet night in".

After the blue steak & cidre I was expecting an exciting morning on the
toilet front, but no.

[1] yes, Neal, it has one of those flags
[2] proper frog stuff with no salt. Personally I prefer the UK salted
variety or especially the Normandy version with large sea salt crystals
running through it.

Yeah, I sussed that from later posts.

But if I'd known what it meant, I'd have spotted that it was a typo,
but I don't and I didn't.
