It’s huge, clean and tidy, the parking is really easy, the aisles are nice and wide and, in common with most Leclerc<\/em> hypermarkets, there are plenty of checkouts and they are always well-personned so there are none of these enormous queues that you find in the Auchan<\/em> and the Carrefour<\/em>. <\/p>\n For these reasons alone, the new Leclerc<\/em> will get my vote for shopping for the forseeable future.<\/p>\n I didn’t in fact leave my notebook at Brico Depot. It was in my pocket all the time. <\/p>\n Nevertheless I went and redid my shopping there this morning and with no pressure from any outside influence I bought everything that I’m likely to need to finish off this bathroom properly. <\/p>\n I’ll restart in there on Monday and put my back into it.<\/p>\n I came back a different way that usual and I’m rather glad that I did. <\/p>\n And here just down the road from LeClerc at Dom\u00e9rat I stumbled across probably the most exciting car that I’ve seen for quite some considerable time – Peugeot 230 pickups excepted of course.<\/p>\n And isn’t this a real beauty? It’s for sale at just \u20ac7500 and I could easily be tempted by this, although Opel did make a pick-up version and a convertible, one of which would be even an more exciting find,<\/p>\n Even nicer though would be the Soviet Union’s copycat GAZ M21 III but I wouldn’t have a clue where even to start to look for one of those. This afternoon I did a little (yes, just a little) tidying up here and then, despite the miserable weather, it was time to go out.<\/p>\n Despite the miserable weather, a hard-core of about a dozen or so of us set out, up tp our knees in soaking wet grass and sliding about on the mud.<\/p>\n It made me feel quite at home. Neverthless, it was still far too wet for our traditional feu de joie<\/em>, but someone did bring a DVD, a copy of the Fernandel film En Avant La Musique<\/a> All in all we had a good time. I wonder what tomorrow will bring me.<\/p>\n![\"1962](\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1306\/1306122.jpg\")
<\/a>Despite everything that I’ve recently been saying about old cars on islands, you do still occasionally find them on the mainland too.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>She’s a 1962 Op\u00eal Rekord 1700 P2, in almost-mint condition, one owner from new and with just 67000 kms on the clock. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>Regular readers of this rubbish will recall that at the weekend round about the F\u00eate de St Jacques it’s the custom here in Virlet to go for a walk to beat the bounds of the commune and have a little party afterwards.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>It did brighten up slightly as we made our way around, and it became much easier to walk once we were on the metalled road.<\/p>\n
