Tuesday 22nd July 2008 Valence d'Agen - working on the car

Hot and sunny. We went into Agen Sud via the scenic route. First stop Citroën to take back the gaiter that didn’t fit for a refund and pick up the two new brake cables. The return was 50€ and the two cables 36€, so he had a refund in cash! Next we went to Feu Vert. Yes, the rear shock absorbers they fitted were correct (not too short as Mike suspected) and the guy said he would book it in for them to hoist the car up and have a look and see if they could find what was making the knocking noises. Busy all day, so he booked it for Thursday at 11.00 a.m. We went in Carrefour for some CD labels, got none, went in Casto and got another can of expanding foam to finish filling the green sausage fender that burst when we came in to moor on the pontoon (Roy’s fault – he pulled on the rope). We went in Géant and bought two packs of CD labels, plus Mike had new Senheiser earphones for his mp3 player for 10€. Home via the scenic route. I made some lunch while Mike went to Casino to fill a container of diesel for the boat. The price at Géant, Agen Sud had dropped to 1,38.9€ per litre, but Casino was still on old stock at 1,41.9€. After lunch Mike examined the fender and found it was more than three quarters full of foam, so we didn’t really need the other can! Lots of people about as it was Tuesday, the day for hire boats to moor at Valence.
