We love life really...

Life has rolled on, we are really getting the house done.

But yesterday night we had a night off, we went to see a mate of mine who has been living in Brittany for 30 years. We had to meet him at his mums, a small problem as the town had changed a bit and, well Ok someone could not remember the way,

Naturally I had not brought the phone number either, and we were a bit errr lost at this stage sousing the mobile  and aking a friend to check on the internet was enough to confirm that we were opposite the right house.  Something I had of course known all along....

We had a lovely night and a great meal, then we went home

Or rather tried too.

Some fool had made a serious parking error with an articulated truck and it was now lying down for a bit of a rest.

Not a problem - technology was meant for this.

In the old days I would have pulled an oil soaked atlas out from under the seat but today we had electronic salvation - GPS. 

But first of course it needed to know where we were, and for a good 5 minutes it was clueless.

I think I had a better idea.

But, thank goodness it then devised a plan and lacking a map or one of our own we followed. it.

Looking at the area today on those old fashioned obselete  OS maps I am in awe.

What on earth possessed it to take us so far out of our way.

I might never know.,

She says that the online rally map style: "hard right" "hard  left" instructions were a help.

Though when the sats went silly and we were, so it said, in the river,  didn't rebuild our faith in it

We arrived at somewhere we knew and we turned the box off. 

But of course we did get home, and we got a bit of sleep, but not much
 
The GPS - versus a map in my hand saved us about minus 2 hours.


I am off to bed now and Brittany tomorrow.
