Default A quiet weekend in Paris?

As I am working an hour or so from Paris for a couple of weeks and it was Mrs Noc's birthday, it seemed a good idea for her to get a cheap flight out and we could meet up in Paris, so that is exactly what we did yesterday.

That teargas doesn't half drift in the wind.

She was protesting about fuel before she left the UK Bri - the fuel flap lock failed on the way to the airport and she couldn't fill up.

Luckily a quickly sketched 'how to' on a scrap of paper worked a treat when she got back to the car.

Many thanks again for your help with the magic wand recently - much appreciated.

It was certainly an eye-opener Mick. Even where we are working there are protests, but so far they have been good natured.

Funnily enough when we drive past and they see our car has UK plates we get the thumbs up.

Good to hear your keeping safe mate, hopefully in the new year when the weather is good I’ll try to pop down your way and meet up for a refreshment.
Good to hear they have been giving you the thumbs up.

What you have to do is put a High Viz yellow vest on the passenger side of the dash.------


Get you through anywhere.

Look forward to meeting up again Mick over a pint or three - as long as the girls are driving of course!

Least I could do Ian. Always make an effort to be home for Julie's birthday, but couldn't turn two weeks of work down. Luckily I have a very understanding wife.
