Busy

 

That's what we've been. Busy.

Today is the fourth day in a row we have used Claudette for a tour, and tomorrow we are using her again. Even when the cars are behaving they demand attention. On Sunday it was Claudette's turn to throw a curveball.

As has been our habit the past couple of years, we went up to Tours on Sunday afternoon to check over Claudette, refuel her and wash her before meeting our clients at Saint Pierre des Corps Station, Doing that the day before and staying overnight in Tours saves us a very early start to the day, and means that when we arrive home we haven't spent 15 hours working.

On Sunday I took Claudette out of the garage only to find we had a very soft front tyre. Luckily(!) I am old enough to have grown up when flat tyres weren't uncommon, and you were expected to change the wheel yourself rather than call roadside service. It took about 30 minutes of jack wrangling and we were ready to go.
