• 24.11 Day 69 . . . Like A Bad Smell . .

    24 november 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    As of last Thursday we are up to do the airport run to Bordeaux, not quite as early as last week but not by much. Yep Munch is returning!!
    Off down the N10 we trundled - leaving an hour extra on the normal travel time due to early morning rush hour entering Bordeaux. All was fine until we got to 15km from the airport when we hit the traffic. We then crawled for best part of an hour never rally going any faster than 10-15km an hour - mostly less than that.
    Messages from Munch said she had landed as we continued to crawl along getting ever closer.
    Finally we turned into the airport and dumped Roxvanne in our normal car park. A quick walk to the arrivals found us both busting for the ladies/gents and with no sign of Munch in arrivals we dashed to the loo’s.
    On coming back out and meeting one another we walked into the arrivals hall - like a bad smell, she was back! Munch had arrived. The usual complete over the top greeting from Tre saw Munch blush in public as last time. Lovely to have her back again.
    So back out to Roxvanne who had only just been turned off and we were back in and off North back home.
    One short stop for a coffee and croissant and we were back on the road.
    Stopping only briefly to grab some supplies in Sauze Vaussais, we found ourselves back indoors.
    I had felt rough all night and for the journey there and back - ‘Ultra Man Flu’ had hit. I left Tre to unpack the shopping and gas with Munch while I hit my bed, only to be disturbed by the occasional beeping of the pellet burner downstairs as Tre turned it on and off and on and off and on and . . . You get the idea!
    So that was pretty much the day written off. When I woke up at about 7.30pm Teresa told me Munch had been asleep for about 3 hours on the sofa . . . I think Tre had a quiet un-eventful afternoon.
    Pizzas for dinner - a salmon one for Princess Munch of course and then an evening chilling by the fire watching TV.
    Tomorrow we are going out out, somewhere in the daytime and tomorrow evening we return to the quiz night, the scene of the bicycle accident a few weeks back. Let’s see if we can all get there and back safely.
