Just pootling

The idea had been to get out on the roadies today, but with storms forecast to roll in at around lunchtime we decided it would be a better idea to take the car down to the garage in the village to have its breaks inspected, as they have been making a worryingly load grinding noise since before the weekend. Jean-François duly confirmed that yes, the pads are indeed, er, a tad worn but fortunately are not yet impacting on the discs. So pads ordered and car off the road. Apart from that, today I have scythed the top chemin which leads from Pissou to the road. It had waist-high grass in places, making a 'round the block' circuit with the pooch a rather less than pleasant experience, especially after rain. Job well done.
