Coming back from Liz and Terry's ...


... I was just crossing over the Font Nanaud as the sun was setting. I stopped and took a few photos, as is my wont, and while most of them turned out quite well, this one is in fact quite spectacular.

I had to take it on a very fast shutter so as to avoid any blur or interference and the colours have come out perfectly, which is quite a surprise.

I'd been round there this evening to organise our radio programme for the next few weeks. We will be talking about this auto-entrepreneur system but seeing as we only have enough information for three weeks we will also be doing something about playing football in the region. I reckon that there are loads of expats living in the area dying to integrate and not sure how - and football is a universal language.

So that's what I was doing this morning and in the early part of the afternoon - preparation. later on I went to the brocante at Youx - quite a big one too as it happens. I bought something that indicated on it that it was 12-volt current in and 230 volt current out at 80 watts - ideal for Caliburn. But it wasn't half a Stone-Age appliance. We started off at €10 but I got it knocked down to €3 in the end.

At Terry's we had a play with it. We put 12 volts into it - and got nothing out. And Terry doubts that it is what it says that it is on the label. It's not like any inverter he has ever seen.

So I dunno. I'll add it to the stuff to be played with at a later date.
