Today, tomorrow? Huh?

We drove off this morning to get fuel...gazoil at the local super-market/gas station at 1.34 a liter. Filled the Toyota with 12 gallons for about 60 USD. About the same as in our corner of the US...about 5.00 USD per gallon. Then we were off to Chateauroux for a days shopping for everything possible. Chateauroux is about 20 miles from Lignieres, due west.
We first went to the junk stores on the SE side of the city, We wandered the aisles looking over all the stuff, some imported these days. We found a embroidery of a parlor scene that was quite charming and cheap at 8 Euros. Then an oil painting of a scene of farming in the 19th century. Both fir some part of our idea of how our Maison du Bourg should be decorated. We bought them both. I looked over the computer monitors and systems the had but they just didn't fit our particular need these days.
Then to find Eurodif closed, so then to Babou where I fond the ceramic knives we bought last week. They are as sharp as Exacto blades I tell you, very, very sharp and dangerous to the uninitiated.
