Well the morning was spent shopping in Cormeille and we visited a garden centre just outside of town to see if they sell plastic piping, as Noel left some caravan bits in the garage!!, and they do and so we need to go back to see if they have the right size. For some strange reason caravan waste water plumbing is a different size to most other plumbing and its difficult to get the correct sizing as most people use the flexible stuff which does not suit what we do.
Then on to the local fish shop which is as good as ever and we bought a large chunk of Cod which we plan to have later in the evening. Then on to Carrefour where we found some excellent double lamb chops and then plus some other shopping and we put all the shopping in the car and Jennifer took back the shopping cart and as Noel backed out slowly watching all wing mirrors and reverse camera and came out far enough to stop and start moving forward there was an almighty bang as a car reversed in to the back offside corner of the Land Cruiser. Damn and blast…. There is not a huge amount of damage bust it has shattered the offside rear light cluster and so will have to get that fixed as water may get in and damage the electrics. The guy that reversed in to me must have been blind as the Land cruiser is truck size in that car park of small French cars and not to see the car he cannot have been looking. he was happy to give me all his paperwork required but did not want to see our insurance stuff etc as kept saying he was sorry and it was his fault.
This is doubly annoying as this morning I made the final payment on the car and three hours later bang!!!.
In the afternoon we went to visit Ingrid in the Chateau and she is really struggling financially as Hutopia do not appear to be paying her it seems???anyway she has had to fire here cleaner of many years and this makes her doubly cross.. In the evening we enjoyed the cod with loads of rice and and spinach followed by a nice bit of apple pie.
In the late evening the skies started to ruin cloudy and Noel went off to the TV room to watch the ill fated Liverpool goalie allow Real Madrid to win the European Cup. He made two really stupid errors and its just not good enough at the level of football.
However at half time Noel returned to the caravan as the heavy rain and strong winds had started and bashed in some more tent pegs and guys to ensure we don't lose the awning. And so to bed
