Blah blah blah, usual apologies for slow update. I think we’re in a parallel universe as I’m sure it’s only 3 weeks since my last update but the rest of the world has moved on nearly 4 months!
At this time of year the farmers are watering the maize almost continually, which means if you need your car washed, just drive along the road until you find a place where the sprinklers are soaking the road as well. Mind you, I’ve not tried stopping and shampooing the car, perhaps that would be a little too eccentric for the French!
Through the Car Wash
In early May we went to stay with friends Rob and June for a few days. There is some beautiful countryside in that area (Bergerac), we had a couple of days out driving around the local villages, very picturesque. The dogs generally behaved themselves, except when we went for a meal at a small restaurant. We parked the car in view of the restaurant so that the dogs could see us but that didn’t stop Daisy howling. I just pretended they were nothing to do with us and suggested their owners should be ashamed about leaving dogs in the car unattended!
Rob and June were going to come to stay with us for a couple of days but Jan had a tummy bug so we thought it best to postpone their visit. Luckily I didn’t catch whatever it was that Jan had, as I’m a man I’m obviously immune to such mundane ailments. Well until August, when I had a bad case of dysentery with E.coli complications. That was my initial diagnosis but it turned out to just be a bad case of diarrear direear direhere the shits.
