Swapping positions

After such a lousy nights sleep, we both felt pretty miserable this morning but we decided to take advantage of 2 very tired dogs, leave them both at home and nip over to the market at Ganges. We have been told on several occasions that it is a very good market, and so it proved. We stopped for coffee in the middle of the market and I commented on how comfortable I now feel in France. Jan agreed, even though she had to use a hated 'footprint' loo.

After very many years of driving, I have never once been stopped and asked to produce my license and insurance documents in the UK. We have now been in France over 3 years and I have been stopped 3 times. At first it used to irritate me but now I'm more relaxed. However, this type of police vigilance does nothing to improve the standard of French driving.

Jan's joke of the day:

He said - "Shall we try swapping positions tonight?"

She said - "That's a good idea... you stand by the ironing board whilst I sit on the sofa and fart."

Do you think that maybe I give Jan the wrong impression? (Doubt it - Ed.)
