Friday 8th October 2010 Pierrefitte. Day off

Warm and sunny after a hazy start. Mike checked on the Internet for Citröen dealers and sent one an email (in French) to ask the price of a lower suspension unit as he’d changed his mind and said he would fit a new one (an item that needed changing during the next two years according to the Control Technique). After lunch we went out in the car to get some coal. Mike had found a yard selling “combustibles” at Coulanges, the next village up the canal, in Yellow Pages and we called there and bought a sack of boulettes for 16,60€ but they had no other coal. Carried on into Digoin and went to the Bricomarché. They had anthracite, but like the previous Bricomarché, they only had the small stuff, 20/30 (mm), so Mike bought a bag as there was no alternative. I bought a selection of six miniature shrubs for 5,95€ which will look nice in the roof planter. Back around five p.m. My blog reader had sent me an email with more about constructing antennas for WiFi and signal boosting dongles, with links to websites. I passed it to Mike as it was too technical for me and he found it very interesting. (Thanks again, C! We're working on it) Still just us on the quay (plus a few fishermen in the afternoon).
