We took a different route today to Cahors for a change and went via Cenevieres, Cregols, Tregoux and finally arrived in Concots. There are a number of new houses and also some older ones are being converted. There were a number of English cars around by the new houses and so either they are rented or owned.
Noel needed to buy a large spanner to enable him to tighten the nut and bolt on the famous tow ball and the first shop we went had every size spanner except the size we thought we needed a 22mm.
Soon afterwards we found a much better auto supply shop with an amazing range of tools and the shop looked very new indeed. We duly purchased the 22mm spanner which took only a few moments to run it through their new super duper check out machine. Anyway pleased with our purchase we went outside to check it was correct and then found that we should have bought the 24mm size spanner instead. Damn!
So we went back in to the shop and found the correct size and then went back to the counter to apologise and request the change. This totally confused the shop assistant as he could not make the new super duper system work to provide a change process. So he apologised and said he had to see the ‘chef’ by which I presumed he meant the boss as we weren’t ready for lunch yet. So backwards and forwards to the Chef’s office he went looking even more perplexed, by which time there was a queue of people waiting to be served. Finally they sorted it all out after about 20 minutes and we paid the 89 cents difference and left. Whew.
Carrefour do a great range of fish and so with some salmon and half a kilo of beautiful king prawns and a nice bottle of Chablis to go with it we headed home and then realised we needed dome diesel. The Sat Nav shows petrol stations and also the owner ie Shell, Total, Esso etc but it is not up to date and the first Total station we came to it was some brand of fuel which we had never heard of. Having once bought diesel in a
Anyway we found a Total station and invested our life savings into filling the tank.
The afternoon was spent relaxing and preparing for our fishy dinner and chilling down the Chablis. You know it’s very hard work over here sometimes.
