So; why is our Max loitering by an ambulance???
He is one of a team driving from Hungary to Africa to donate the ambulance to the needy, in a convoy of similar vehicles. There is a link to a film from an older trip below (its an hour long, better charge the glass first) He is, of course, a master traveler and a high adventurer - and bonkers.
He's nearly ready for the off. There will be fundraising so get out the slender resources. Not sure of the mechanism for donation but will find out, for sure.
In the meantime, the local news is somber. I went to Andre Donjons funeral this week; he was 89 when he died, preceded by two wives. There were no kids. So the farewell ceremonies, in the church and cemetery, had few attendees - he'd outlived most of his friends too.
Then Madame Pozo died at 94 but she was the matriarch of the Pozo tribe hereabouts who represent most of the pompiers and many others besides - so a crowded funeral. A familiar and much loved figure in the day.
Both were neighbours of mine and both much appreciated.
On a more cheery note, Kat is back :)
