Long lunch
Nathalie invited Agathe, Stephane, and their two boys for lunch today, so they rode over from Lyon. We had a simple meal, but didn't get away from the table until 4 pm. By that time Stephane was falling asleep in one of the living room chairs, and Diane was trying to keep him awake.
We ended up driving to "downtown" Barraux and having a walk around there, since Nathalie figured there'd be more shade in town than around Fort Barraux. There wasn't too much shade, but the boys found the fountains and soaked each other. All three are thin and didn't seem to mind the heat until we'd been walking for over half an hour. Then Benjamin got something in his left eye that caused an allergic reaction. His eye swelled almost shut. We washed it out with eyedrops, and he said it was okay, but it looked like somebody'd boxed him.
Emma wasn't too exhausted to eat tonight, but Tim and Diane only wanted to watch television. Diane seems to have fallen alseep with the light on and the windows and door open. That's a far cry from what she's been doing since Michel and Colette's visit, which is getting up and bugging us until 10 pm.
