1. It seemed to be quite a day for boar hunting in the region. As a result, there were loads of men with guns out sitting on chairs, in the woods waiting for the boars. However, with reference to the above 'things not going well together' and the stake out of hairy pigs with tusks, the said gentlemen all seemed to be wearing bright orange. Now I'm not particularly clever, but if I was a wild boar, something orange sitting in my normal environment would clearly give rise to some concern.
2. The advert that said "Quad Paintball". This sounds just so dangerous that it's wrong on many levels. Quad biking yes, paintball yes, quad paintball....surely a no!
3. Cats and motorbikes. As we made our way up the road to Millau a morotbike came steaming past us with a MMMMMMEEEEEEEEOWWWWWW as he overtook us as great speed. We noted that the curious sighting of a cat basket strapped onto the back of his bike was a little worrying. More so because it was covered in a blanket which gave indication that there was a poor cat clinging on to whatever it could as it leant this way and that on its way to the 'Meow viaduct!!!'
And the best one yet...
4. Zumba Golf. This one really made me laugh. The thought of neon clad ladies and gentlemen trying to hit a ball whilst gyrating and hip swinging in a Latin music stylie just made me giggle. Maybe not what the advert intended, but made me guffaw out loud.
5. Our free camping tonight at a vineyard. We have driven out to a very exclusive and posh vineyard/hotel/restaurant and this is where we are staying. Nestled into a hillside out in the middle of nowhere is Hugo (the van) in amongst posh cars and well to do people. They are paying a fortune to go and sleep inside this place. We are spending nothing to sleep outside the place, whilst being in the same place. It just seems a little odd for them, and quite nice for us.
Some things do not seem to go well together. Today just seemed to be a day of spotting them!
