222. Shapeshifting

Avignon

My lack of activity yesterday made for a major pack up today. Got up at the unbelievable hour of seven thirty and discovered that everything was wet with dew. Had forgotten about that. Even the boat had to be de-rigged, turned upside down and all the stick remains swept out and completely packed up. 

Not a lot of pressure on parks!

Eventually got away about one thirty and started with a trip to the supermarket. While parked at the supermarket, Jacqueline and three children shopping in supermarket an official walked up and asked me to move as I am taking too many parks. I pointed out the hundred spare parks and that we were shopping here and would only be ten minutes. His reply was no, you can have one park only. I said ok, no problem and he left happy. Not quite sure how to fit this rig into one park. Consulted the Land Rover manual and there is no nightbus* size adjust switch.

Managed to beat Matthew, Claire and family to Avignon on account of their running out of fuel on the motorway - duffers.

* In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the Nightbus just swerves around or squeezes past (or through) obstacles, and in terms of the latter, the driver is shown throwing a switch that causes the bus to contract. The bus also becomes invisible within the distance, materialising when called, and vanishing when leaving.

Chatted awkwardly to the man dismantling the carburettor
of this beautiful, unrestored, 1930 Peugeot.
