The former is still dozing in Decize, with his/her plastic cover - I suspect - going soft and squidgey with the sun and heat, and probably getting very tatty.   That cheap plastic from the brico is a good cover for winter, spring and autumn, but virtually melts in the summer.    

Crew, after a jolly stay in local repair establishment getting splendid new hip works, was comfortably carrying out the physio-terrorist's instructions at home in Lymington, when the medical mafia did a quick retrieval and carted him off to Southampton.   There, to the sound of eldritch shrieks of glee and malice, a dirty great hole was cut in the other leg,  and sundry nasties  removed.   The area was subsequently disguised by the vandalising of yet another area of leg, the skin obtained therefrom being used to hide the dear ladies' (2 of them - ladies, not holes) depredations.

At the time of writing - mid July - have vague hope of getting back end of July to mid August, but currently undergoing compulsory weekly attendance at local surgery/clinic for slightly disgusting dressing changes.  The good folk there were horrified at the idea of "the French" doing said dressing changes, and were even more horrified at a suggestion of trying DIY.  They appear not to share my hopes of imminent departure.

No photos - camera has not left case for 3 months, except to get batteries charged, and displaying photos of previous ventures on Continental Waterways feels inappropriate.   The banner photo was taken in mid winter about 9 years ago, when we were "Islanders"!
