Ours is getting new brake pads next Wednesday pm. We have to go to Chateau d'Olonne whch means a morning spent at the covered market buying fresh fish etc, then lunch then maybe a raid on the Troc before we can pick him up so it's going to cost a lot more then £190.
I hope that'll be it but I suspect wheel bearings......... We'll see. meanwhile, we're using Sally who has a plug-in Garmin satnav which we didn't use on Thursday's excursion to dancing. Very strange driving around without a moving map on the screen. Had to concentrate on surroundings and not just other traffic. I can see that Satnav can lead to brain death.
Back to reading maps then.

Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Fireworks season has started early this year Fortunately far enough away for a dog that ate three days worth of food (a mix of me feeding him bits as i prepared the portions and him sneaking off with 1kg of beef cheek) and so is in a bit of a food induced deep sleep not to really register.
Morning all G'day Pat Just waking here and waiting for coffee to arrive ... The moon was big and beautiful a moment ago but it's behind a bank of cloud now.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Nothing too serious I hope. I've got to replace the wheel bearings on my truck one warm weekend.
nah, £190 inc MOT, new tyre and bits and bobs.

Oberlix , just wondered what “ Troc “ was ?
It's a place that takes your unwanted furniture and household items and sells them for a share. House clearances and stuff. Source of wonderful goodies on occasion. http://www.troc.com/fr/magasin-184-les-sables-d-olonne-chateau-d-olonne.htm#.WdfkemiCyM9
Oberlix , sounds interesting , enjoy your visit
Just voted for Calendar , no problem with site
