What an afternoon, I need a pick me up.
To buy something simple like a bit of guttering involves a trip of 30 miles each way, if you are lucky. This afternoon was not lucky. First of all I came across a traffic diversion, not too bad, then a big protest of teachers complaining about the government and the cuts in expenditure. Yes it happens everywhere. This meant going in a big circle to avoid the placards, while the gendarmerie stood there looking daggers at the motorists and smiling at the demonstrators. To get across the town normally takes five minutes, today half an hour.
Finally getting to the BricoMarche I find that they are out of stock on most of the bits and pieces I need. A further 15 miles then to the next possible outlet. While on route Mme sees a garden centre we haven't been in for a couple of years.
45 mins.later we leave the garden centre and continue the journey. Finally I find a little used magasin that actually has what I want. It is one that has just had a face lift so a further explority walk all round is called for with of course new things to look at and buy.
By this time I need a loo, (probably a weak credit card brought it on)so seeing a very large supermarket that is bound to have one in we go. When I say it was large, my feet said it was very large.
Still I did find some very well priced Bordeaux that I intend to try shortly. I will of course keep some of the "real one" for Saturday.
Do you get extra points for long posts?
