England game tonight.
Changeable weather again and still fairly cool. First thing, we got Mick and Bren's awning up, second year with the van and the first time it has been put up. And it all went remarkably smooth, with next to no problems, although we did have to screw some fittings to the side of Mick's van.
We went for a walk along the lake to where there was another campsite and a marina, the weather couldn't make its mind up it was hot one minute and cold the next and it kept tying to rain. And there was not a lot at the marina, we thought there could be a bar or cafe but there wasn't.
In the middle of the lake, there appeared to be oil pumps, like the ones you see in Texas but that couldn't be right, could it, looked it up when we got home and yes there are oil pumps in the middle of the lake. There were also little islands with sheds on, I assume these were for fishing and not to do with the oil industry but I could be wrong there as well.
Back at the campsite, the shop was a revelation after the shop at the first Siblu site, instead of three vegetables, there was two or three boxes of each. There was also good selection of booze and reasonably priced quality beers.
We watched the second match of that day, sat in the sun through the window of Mick van as we had our tea, then it was off to the bar to watch England v USA. It should have been an easy game but England made it look hard and in the end managed to give away a lead, to draw 1 - 1. The atmosphere in the bar was very good though and the Leffe was on offer during happy hour as the Stella was off, bargain.
