We went to the superette to buy milk and stuff. There was no milk and not much stuff, a smashed alarm and door, and a rather upset Fred. Someone in a white BMW had been seen leaving in a hurry early this morning, presumably with most of the bottled booze from the shop. Tuesday is re-stock day, and Sebastien had spent most of the day at the gendarmerie instead of the wholesaler's.
So we went to Mirambeau and the Super U, bought salad and milk and brekkie pastries, and stopped at the little café for grand chocolat. Much excitement when we came out - a Convoi Exceptionelle was stuck across the road, decorated with pieces of tree. I don't know how they thought the great thing would have been able to get round that bend. We joined an admiring group of spectators for a while and then I realised it was close to my car. Time for a quick exit before they had another go.
As I came into the drive, there were TWO hoopoes standing in my parking place! I quickly turned off the engine, but they were not amused and one flew off. The other stood his ground and watched warily, but eventually he decided the car was harmless and started pecking for ants, and as he toddled around, up went the crest.
