Football, and more rain

5pm Saturday 17th May 2008

We're now sat in the Station Tavern in Cannes, drinking Amstel and watching the FA cup - Andy is a huge Portsmouth fan, and he's talked about watching the match non-stop since we set off. Having driven round Cannes for the last hour trying to find a parking space, it's good to finally sit down and rest for a couple of hours. Since waking up we've been back on the case straight away. I cooked sausage, beans and poached eggs for brunch (tres Anglaise!), Stu's been busy editing footage again, Andy's been arranging the van with Si, and they have managed to get the surroundsound working - kindly loaned to us from The Movieum of London where we had our send-off party - and I cleaned the outside of the van and Andy's painted over some of the rust. The van is ready for a night on the town!

And so are we. Being our first full evening on the Croisette, it is good to be fully loaded up with sleep, know what the score is on the Croisette, and in expectation of some press action and lots of fascinated passers-by. I'm excited with anticipation at what the evening holds and feeling a little less useless than I did this morning...and it's still raining.

ah, the thrill of being somewhere else and still wanting to know whats going on in blighty, pompey won but if cardiff had had any nous about them it would have been over by the time kanu scored.

anyway, glad it all coming together, these things are never easy but we're keeping our fingers crossed. its never easy in the first few days and the weather doesnt help but passion and enthusiasm in what youre doing does. we're british, we know whats what. what? go cath!

erm, may have been up too late with 'tyana...
