The weather forecast, according to Apple, promises rain, but, although the morning is cool, it is dry. By 10:30 it is a sitting in the sun 17C.
We have collected a heap of washing, so, while the washing machine attends to that, we sit drinking coffee and people watching.
Perhaps the problem of the nearest Supermarket is solved, while emptying the washing machine, a chance conversion with another Brit, and we learn that there is a Geant Supermarket about two miles away, on the way to St Tropez. Just as well, we are out of essentials, ie wine.
We cycle to Port Grimuad, where Google tells us there is "Stations of the Cross" at the Catholic Church there.
While Kathleen partakes of the Good Friday things, I risk life and limb finding the Supermarket.
I eventually find the Geant, just like a typical English Supermarket on a holiday weekend, it is very, very busy. I stock up on Gin and wine for Kathleen, plus wine and various goodies (food) for me.
The weather deteriorates, cloud and the threat of rain, so, maybe Apple is going to be right after all.

Heavy overnight rain, but, dry when morning comes.
We cycle to St Maxime and a little beyond, with the intention of getting a good mileage in, but, Easter weather obviously applies here too. Black clouds begin to gather, we cut our ride short and head for home. We just make it before the thunder and rain starts. just under 10 miles, better than nothing.
For the rest of the day, rain stops play.
