Woken by thunder and lightning at 6am, it was lashing down again. It never eased all day and the river was now hammering along toward Paris at 6 knots. We were starting to get concerned over reports that the Nivernais was closed until the 8th May due to dangerous flooding and river flows. Lancing confirmed the shaft was being dispatched today so no chance of Friday I lamented.
I cooked a chinese curry enough for 2 days and had planned on a late dinner as we had invited Essex John and Lyn webb over for drinks. They have a home in Normandy and John is a collector of vintage French cars. We had met them last year when our arrivals at Migennes had coincided. They had come down from Normandy a couple of days ago to work on their newly acquired boat. Suffice to say they left at 12.30 after a very pleasant evening and I need more roche mazet and we still have curry for two days.
Thats all folks!
