Dan phoned again about noon. He confirmed that today is a rest day mainly because of a large blister on his foot. His mum asked if he had used one of the high-tech anti-blister plasters that she had provided. He hadn't. Perhaps he will. He walked into Castellane for a meal which he couldn't manage to finish. It brings to mind the state of concentration camp inmates who were killed by the provision of normal food when they were liberated.
I thank the comment about time zone. I have changed it and will find out if it is correct in a few moments.
