Although it is cloudy at the moment. I seem to have tanned quite a lot already. <br /><br />The trip down was relatively uneventful. We did Godalming to La Mora in just under 18 hours in the car. We actually did the eurotunnel to the french/spanish border in just under 11 hours.<br /><br />We had 62 confirmed sightings of windsocks[1] in france. We think there were another 2 but didnt see them. One of the ones we missed was on the villau viaduct. which is pretty impressive. <br /><br />Biggest sign the machines are taking over is that one of the roadsigns told me i was going to fast. It did freak me out a bit. <br /><br />Finished 1 book so far. House of suns. I had stopped reading this after about 100 pages a few months ago but made an effort to carry on during this holiday and it was worth it. Obviously just a slow start. Now finally reading Executive Orders by Tom Clancy after having owned it for about 5 years. Its been pretty good so far. I get the impression I might be missing stuff by not having read the previous book but I dont feel to out of the loop. A lot of what you need to know gets regurgitated. <br /><br /><br /><br />[1] Windsocks are an important part of every car journey. honest.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=bob&ditemid=667" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
