raining, not

Here we are this morning after yesterdays rain... its unnerving when it rains because of the fear of flooding. Thursday (when the weather was lovely) went to Carcassonne by the magic of public transport and the trains between Limoux and Caca still can't run because of flood damage; the buses are fine but gave an alarming view of the vineyards  around St Hilarie which are crushed and covered in debris.
Coming home in the dark was especially freaky as you can see nothing except when the bus headlights picked out things like colanders, washing-up bowls, old bikes and so forth, scattered over the darkness. Bright plastic, shiny metal. The remains of peoples homes - felt so sad for those that lost everything.

Ah, yes. The reason I was coming home in the dark is because the timetable has secretly changed. The advertised 4.00 return bus in fact runs some time before 3.30 and the next is at nearly 7.00pm. Check everything if taking advantage of the 1 euro trip, which remains the same and the best value in the Aude.
