Good evening

Today we drove over 500 miles. The weather was terrible for the first 400, but is dry now. The journey was surprisingly stress free considering a train broke down in the Channel Tunnel, we had to drive round Paris, the distance and the weather.

We have eaten well and will sleep well. The Garabit Viaduct, built 1880-84 by Gustav Eiffel (according to the sign) is floodlit tonight

We have Benedict Cumberbatch, apparently speaking French, on the TV in Sherlock.

Our hotel is simple, but very French. Check in involved being given a key and Son being moved to a double room as Madame insisted he was too tall for a single bed. The dinner bill has been charged to the room. We have completed no paperwork and swiped no cards - they assume we'll pay tomorrow... which we will of course :)

We are on the edge of the Cevennes national park, roughly half way between Clermont Ferrand and Millau if you can be bothered to check Google Maps.

All sounds super and the viaduct is beautiful. :<3:
I love the trust shown there. :)
Enjoy yourselves and please keep us posted.

Good evening, John ! :)
It helps if he can keep his spirits up, so that's good, especially if your mum seems upbeat and ok. :)
Public wards are the worst, always someone moaning, "Nurse! Nurse!" all through the night!
You try to have as good a weekend as is possible in the circumstances.
Wibble on! :D

OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE
Avoid your torso being surreptitiously filmed and used in a TV news report on the obesity problem by always wearing a T-shirt with " All Newsreaders are morons." written on it.
