....well today had its ups and downs.
It was the day of the biggest shop of the year. So started in the market, with the cheeseman, who with his partner were ever so pleased to see us back, so all good there.
Then off to buy veg, croissants, veg plants for the veg plot and poly tunnel.
Then off to the butcher who was pleased to see us again, lots of dosh spent there on his fabbo meat, well we won't be back there for a month. Off to Castres for lunch yet again "so nice to see you back!" the lovely warm feeling we get when that happens, nothing like the blank looks we would get if we ever patronised the same sort of place in the UK. Post office to buy stamps, it refused my Halifax card and W's John Lewis card but accepted one of her debit cards.
Having just used the card twice before.
Then off to the first food shop, bio special place for W's gluten free nosh. Card OK there.
By the time we get to the car I am, yet again, breaking my neck for a waz, why do I never remember to go in the brasserie?, and the flipping Disco won't let me in the back. (It's been doing this a bit recently.) So waggleing the handle, no use, plip it on off on off on, and in frustration and to try and shock it free I hit the top of the lock/handle housing, number plate and number plate light thingy.
It breaks.. Not completely, but enough to really bother me, with a capital p and o. So there is a hole and a crack on the top.
As least the flipping thing then opened.
So off to Auchan. Both of us awa frae a purtle. Back to the shopping, two trollies, Monumental bill, but got the stuff. (Card accepted again!)
On the road back the ACE warning light came on.
It did this while towing on the way down and I put it down to my having recently fitted an anti-snake device, but it always went away when not towing, until now? Hmmm!. went off after we stopped at Leclerc and didn't come back on despite a spirited drive up the steep and twisty drive up the mountain.
Ho hum!
Took ages to put it all away, nearly 1 1/2 hours, but dogs fed and nice log fire built. Gaffa taped over the hole in plastic on the Disco, but it ain't easy to put it on in the rain.
Been raining a lot today and is forecast for the rest of the next 7 days. AND it was cold and windy.
So hope you lot had a good day.
See you tomoz.
