Windy this morning. Bob sports his aerodynamic look. Sophie is in a feisty mood. This may have something to do with the whistling sound the wind makes in the branches of the plane trees. This annoys her intensely.
'The Font' heads off to Toulouse with the big car. A chance to do some shopping while it's in for its annual service. All does not go to plan. The air traffic controllers, cab drivers, civil servants and school dinner ladies are on strike. The motorway spur into town blocked by abandoned taxis and protesting bureaucrats. Any hope of getting to the garage by 9.00 am evaporates amid the grid lock. A cab driver tells 'The Font' that the strike is '' all to do with them Hebrew drivers. Six hundred of the B*****s signed up in the last month alone. None of them pay tax ". After being challenged it emerges he means Uber drivers.
The garage is very good. 'The Font' arrives at 11.00. They promise to reschedule the days work and have the car ready by close of business. This wouldn't have happened if Angus had been driving. The courtesy car is the most basic model imaginable. In fact it's so basic it's devoid of carpets . It also has Corsican registration plates. Corsicans are to French driving what Quebecois are to Canadian.
Someone is enjoying the snow :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqzAfWROH5E
I've just seen this which must rank as one of the oddest stories of the year so far :

That Panda clearly read the script and properly understood its role as the World's Cutest Animal!
The report on those dolls is quite distressing - people will spend thousands on dolls but real live children are being abused and abandoned and left to die....
Love Bob's windswept look.
Are there moments, other than sleep, when Sophie is not in a feisty mood? Looking at Bob, I can almost feel the wind and sun upon my face.
Watching the weekend TV coverage of the snowstorm, my first thought was of how much the PONS would have
enjoyed playing in the white fluff....as did that cute panda.
A creepy doll is allowed to purchase a seat while a dog has to unsafely travel with the baggage. I hope the doll doesn't have a medical emergency and they have to divert the plane! ;)
Creepy dolls on planes - there is something very wrong with the world these days. Fat Dormouse is so right. However we know that we can always rely on the PONs to raise a chuckle or two. Is that Sophie walking away from the courtesy car in disgust?
Sometimes I can't believe what I'm reading...supernatural dolls now...what next?
Stop this crazy world and let me get off please!!!
I guess if Bob and Sophie got hold of one of those dolls they'd no longer be supernatural....they'd die a natural death after a morning of play.
I love the aerodynamic look, and I sympathize greatly with Sophie. High pitched whistling sounds are horrible to my ears. Unlike Sophie I can resolve that little irritation by just taking out my hearing aids.
High pitched whistling sounds freak my cat out. His ears go back and looks supernatural because he can't hear whose sneaking up on him for once! And Virginia's comment is too funny.
