George is staying with the Lovely Luke (who brought me home 'cos his dad hadn't turned up). Having tested various theories he thinks it's a starter motor problem ... (MiTo starter motors are made by Bosch ... every day's a school day). He'll fix it but it will probably be next week.🤞 That's fine, we can cope ... staying home is not a problem, we're getting good at it 😉

If they'd just get over themselves and make mask wearing and distancing mandatory again in public and shared spaces they'd save everyone a lot of grief @punkdoc. They are here and we're down to less than 30 cases per 100,000 in the Vendée now that all the holidaymakers have gone home - far too many not following the rules and bringing their bugs from inland France, Belgium, Germany, Holland and elsewhere. Quite a few Brits too from September on.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Afternoon all, colder and windy here but so far, dry. The local lane I use was still flooded this morning and I couldn't be bothered to retrace my steps and go the long way round, so held on to the fortunately very sturdy fence on the edge and inched my way over the mud/water. More excitement on the way back, when I spotted one of the pigs in the woodland had broken through the inner fence, got over the brook and was rooting around on the other side. Where one pig can go, the others could too so alerted the local farmer who knows the owner. Not sure if the primary school nearby has pig proof fences! That really would cause havoc, they are quite large pigs now and hungry with it - I wouldn't like to meet them on the lane.
I'm still wearing my mask in shops and trying to social distance, although I'm not convinced that makes much difference. I think it's all being over-blown by the media as usual. The NHS is nowhere near being overwhelmed as the figures in hospital, which are the most important ones, are very low.
George is fixed. It was the starter motor. They’re really busy today so I said it was fine if they bring him back tomorrow. I wasn’t expecting them to fix him until Monday. Very impressed. 😊
