The PONs are up early and keen to get their day started.
Sophie is in a playful mood.
Bob knows that spells trouble.
Sophie squeals loudly to make it plain she is the family princess . Bob does his happy soft shoe shuffle. The angelic duo then leap into the back of the car. Sophie has forgotten her toy so she has to get out again. Bob sits in her recently vacated place. Sophie won't get back up until he moves.Eventually, chaos is replaced by a vague semblance of order. We park down by the little river so the PONs can drink from the waterfall and observe the cows. Bob and Angus wonder whether the Warsaw Virginia penitentiary is a comfortable place. Sophie finds something repellent to eat in a drainage ditch.
The road repair gang is up and out early. After a month of heavy and near continual rain many of the back roads are suffering from subsidence. The road repair gang are in no hurry to clear the way for us to drive by. I consider winding down the window and saying something .... but don't.
At the supermarket a car has managed to park over the flowering shrubs. French driving is not as 'entertaining' as Italian driving but it's a close run thing.
Those little things. Too unimportant for a diary but too important to go completely unrecorded.
The lady at the 3:30 mark doesn't seem overjoyed to find a pipe band blocking the aisle : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd5SeKB91cE

Having seen some 'interesting' parking techniques in Edinbirgh recently, there could be a third contender! YAM xx
Bertie's predecessor Hamish would have well understood the the upset caused by having some other creature usurping your favourite seat, and the importance of putting things straight, but Bertie is much more relaxed about such matters!
Usually a car like that would be straddling the line to take up two spaces.
straddling two spaces and with its back end sticking out so you have to drive at a snails pace to squeeze by. Very common driving trait in Agen on Saturday mornings.
I heard the jail in Warsaw described as a "very tough place." The thing that really caught my attention was that it is infested with roaches which crawl over one during the night. If I was Manafort and experienced this just once, I'd be on the phone to the Mueller Team this morning offering to tell all.
Pons are looking lovely and ready to get on with their day.
Have just watched the rugby - France played well. Hats off to them!! At the moment Ireland are doing well against Australia.
Oh to be in Melbourne.
Spanish driving takes a bit of beating in the "inventiveness" stakes ! Lane markings are there to be straddled, as are parking bays - why park within the lines when you can park over two bays and have more space?
How does Sophie find all these (wonderful) repellent things in the drainage ditches? Inca Lab would like to know, because she feels she's missing out !
The PONs have such expressive eyes :-)
