\"renault<\/a>This was what greeted me this morning on my way round to C\u00e9cile’s house. Someone clearly not paying enough attention last night.<\/p>\n

Its not the first time that Ive encountered a car in a ditch of course. Keen readers of this rubbish will recall that on my way to the footy at Combronde a few years ago I encountered another one<\/a> in a ditch near Menat. On that occasion the driver would indeed have had a headache as there was a head-shaped dent in the windscreen just above the steering wheel, but in the case of this car there was no such evidence (I did look).<\/p>\n

But just for a change I was up early, as I needed to be. First stop was fuel at the Intermarche at Piosat, and second was at Marianne’s to pick up C\u00e9cile’s keys. Then, passing by the car in the ditch I went on to her house.<\/p>\n

\"font<\/a>At the top of the Font Nanaud there was this spectacular site waiting to greet me. Usually, quite early in the morning, there’s a hanging cloud that sits in the Gorges de la Sioule and when you pass by the Birdwatching Centre beyond St Gervais, you can see it.<\/p>\n

Today though, it had well-overflowed the Gorges and St Gervais, just down there in that valley, was totally overwhelmed. I hadn’t seen it that dramatically before.<\/p>\n

Once I’d sorted out C\u00e9cile’s affairs I went off chaud-pied<\/em> to St Gervais to pick up Liz who had taken the Punto for its controle technique<\/em>, and we shot off to Gerzat to record the Arverne sessions of Radio Anglais.<\/p>\n

That wasn’t as easy as it might have been eiter as Bernard had forgotten that we were coming, and then everything that could possibly go pear-shaped did go pear-shaped and if we had had the time I would have done it all over again.<\/p>\n

I took Liz for lunch afterwards as she deserved it, and then I came home. I should have gone to Brussels this evening too but what with a very late night last night (I can’t believe how stressful it is these days dealing with other people’s problems when they don’t really want them dealt with) and I wasn’t up for a 750km drive through the night.<\/p>\n

I went to bed instead. <\/p>\n
