A Snooze in the Middle

Yesterday was a very busy day. We'd been invited to friends for a 'Car Show'. Everyone had to make a car to compete in a table race.




There were 12 entries, to be judged on speed, design, 'greenness', aerodynamics, etc. There was even one trying to use rocket propulsion!



Our 'Strawberry Punnet' racer won a prize for innovation in wheel design but wasn't the fastest.





We returned home about 5'ish and Sue retired to bed. Her excuse was that she needed to recharge her batteries before we went off to the Gospel show in Gourdon which started at 9.30. I think that she perhaps was too enthusiastic with the food and drink. Having said that, I must admit that I did close my eyes for half an hour, but that was just because I'd got up early.

We went off to Gourdon and found the venue for the concert in the square in front of the Church.





Fortunately we'd got the time wrong and so were half an hour early, but it was just as well as it meant that we managed to get seats. This was a free concert and by the time it started people were standing at the sides.


The performers, Gospel Feel, were brilliant! They were extremely talented, extremely well rehearsed and extremely entertaining. By the end of the evening they had the audience standing, clapping and cheering.
