Toulouse Lautrec and Ducks

23rd November

There is a permanent Toulouse Lautrec gallery here next to the cathedral which we both thoroughly enjoyed. In fact, whilst I don't do galleries very often this was definitely worth a visit. Because everything closes from 12.00 to 2.00 and we hadn't finished we decided to change our plans and stay another night so we could return in the afternoon.

After that I went off in search of Orange (another time) and Jc took the dogs for a walk along the Tarn. On returning back to the van après a little shopping trip, I saw a towel hanging over my bike on its rack and the top hatch of the van wide open. The heating was obviously on as smoke was pouring out of the exit vent. Something had not gone right.

Gybo had rolled in something which according to my husband was not from an animal, and he had spent the last hour trying to clean her up. A bottle of toilet duck stood empty by the side of the sink which was the only form of disinfectant that had come to hand. In my experience Jc has never cleared up anything like this and he agreed it had been the worst hour of his life. So we now have a rather smelly van and a dog that smells like a (toilet) duck!
