Friday 18th July 2008 Valence d'Agen - working on the car

Hot and sunny. Mike set to work straight away on the car. I got on with the chores, assisting Mike with the car repairs where necessary. He changed the damaged rubber gaiter (which entailed removing the drive shaft) replaced it and then paused for lunch. After lunch I gave him a hand to re-weld the  brackets that hold the brake pipes and sensor cables for the brake pads (also damaged by the Feu Vert mechanics, but try proving it). Put stuff away and reconnected the electricity supply to the boat. Getting hotter. Had a text from Bill who was awaiting post at Le Somail; he said mooring ropes had been cut again a few days earlier at Capestang. Mike used up the remaining daytime allowance on emails and downloading upgrades for his security systems. I did some work on Ancestry to use up some of the remaining monthly-allocated Megabytes.
