Bordeaux in the autumn
is very capricious.
Friday we had temperatures of 29°C.
Saturday we had brisk easterly winds.
Sunday started fine and pleasant.
Then in the afternoon, just as we left the house to go to church, the heavens opened. We were swiftly drenched. Utterly drenched. Catrin's umbrella was no use whatsoever as we had that horizontal rain again.
So much rain fell that the drainage on the roads couldn't disperse it all, so when we left church later we were repeatedly soaked by passing traffic launching sheets of muddy water at us.
As soon as we got in we peeled off our wet layers and were thankful for a nice, dry, warm flat.
Numbers were down morning and evening. Some are away, some ill, one poor chap couldn't find anywhere to park his car!
