Monday 23 September - barge carpentry, buying VW in Limony

A fine blue-sky morning. Up to the port where Nico talked with Stuart and Christine and Linda and David about some carpentry work that needs to be done on their barges. In the afternoon, I drove Nico to Limony (near Lyon) where he had arranged to buy a vehicle (a 1986 dual-cab VW with rear box). Arrived there at 10pm, then started back at 11.20pm and got home to Moissac at 6.30am (with two 20-min powernaps along the way). Very dangerous trip (fatigue), which I will never do again!.
