Hi, I was so excited yesterday when I got up. I planned to spend the day writing articles for a Brittany Writers Newsletter which I had found the day before on the internet. Then I remembered that I had an appointment to have my car control techniqued (MOT) I spent all morning trying to decide what to do.
In the end I went to Merdrignac. It was a nerve wracking journey until I reached the main road. I made the most of my visit to town. I went to the supermarket and stocked up with food in case I am unable to use the car again for some time as more snow has been forecast. I bought a gaz bottle, useful for heating and cooking.
I bought a newspaper and read that the Mayor's New Year greetings will be tomorrow. Maybe I can walk to the Marie. There was also a report of our (JUBBIL's) New Year's Eve Party which I had written with a translation by Anicette our president.
The return journey was even worse There were cars being towed out of the ditch by tractors and I drove 4 Kms from St Vran in 1st gear because it was all down hill and I was afraid to touch the breaks. The road was like a skating rink. I was completely exhausted when I arrived home but thought as I parked the car that I wouldn't have to worry about driving again for a few dayor even a week.
The good news is that the car passed the test 100 per cent and I have enough supplies to last until the thaw.
This morning I have retrieved all the writing from an old blog which I hope to reuse. I have learned a few new procedures on my computer. Now I am off to submit something to the Newsletter. Seems like the writer's block which I didn't even realise I had has been unblocked.
