It's exactly where someone could sit on it for a picture, can't see how else it could have got in that spot, it's also very visible as soon as you walk over.
I should be more angry but I'm on holiday and don't want this to be on my mind all the time. Honestly it doesn't surprise me, I've seen people lean on my cars for pictures and youngsters trying to open the doors. I did once shout so loudly across a street in Covent Garden that about a hundred people looked over to see what was going on, that's when a bloke actually lifted his child up onto the bonnet of my lambo so he could take pictures.
holes sometimes.

I've been out here 9 days and there's been one dry day, and I was driving for most of that! Although the weather's been really good on all the previous trips so can't complain.

It obviously didn't come out of the gnocchi, it patently came from the salad.
Because you were right there and saw it, right? You are patently a moron.br d said:

You have been unlucky this year. Weather on the continent has been pretty poor so far this year, and there was a major storm that hit many of us last night. The usual weather.

We’ve been keeping an eye on the weather for our trip and it hasn’t looked good. Mind it’s no better here either. We would normally be there now but for some reason we delayed it until 7th July.The usual weather.

Like you we’ve always had great weather on previous trips.
Never been in France for Bastille Day so that’ll be a new experience!
Last day in Austria and and I can hardly see the trees outside the balcony for fog! Off to Switzerland tomorrow where they've been having their worst weather for decades, what fun!
This has turned into a weather blog!
I know there has been zero driving content in this one so sorry guys but there just hasn't been the opportunity.

Well, apart from doofus.
Is that the first ever PH flounce because of a caterpillar?
Come on Doof! Grace us again! Is that the first ever PH flounce because of a caterpillar?
I'm happy to make a regular arse of myself here I'm sure you can suffer one little upset.
to bring him back(hoe)

I know it sounds strange but the discovery of caterpillar is not as bad as it sounds. I would never knowingly eat a caterpillar, but it does indicate the food was fresh and the rocket didn't have any horrible pesticides on it.
I know it's not much of a consolation.
Well I hope I didn't come across as too miffed, I'd already eaten my fill from the buffet, I got free wine and Max and Julia were lovely so I wasn't pissed of about it, it was more funny. I know it's not much of a consolation.
The buffet was super fresh but honestly the salad was on the other side of the plate and I saw the little bugger crawl out of the gnocchi, which had been cooked, so I'm not sure what happened.
I presume we've all eaten them before!

Yep, it’s like the old joke - what’s worse than finding a grub in your apple?Finding half a grub in your apple.
The human digestive system is a pretty hostile environment for germs and things though so I don’t think a little caterpillar would be a real problem anyway.
Doing absolutely nothing today, like yesterday.
It's pissing down and cold.
Going out in the car is a bit pointless. The thing has monster power and driving it on misty, wet alpine roads isn't going to be any fun, plus the P Zeros are not wet tyres at all, it'll be a deathtrap.
I still need a guitar strap but that'll have to wait and the hotel grounds are miserable in this climate, can't even fly the drone in this weather. So it's sit in the bar and drink beer or go back to the room and interfere with myself, think I'll sit in the bar.
I'm meeting two of my dearest friends in Locarno, Nelson and Amber and a couple of their grown up kids, we have a couple of days cross over so that will be nice. Amber is a triathlete, an absolute machine who does ironmans and all sorts of other impossible challenges, I think they originally came so she could do a bike ride across the Atlantic or something
I mean she literally lives to train and is always running up a mountain or swimming an ocean and is the most disciplined person I know. Nelson is also another scarily fit and strong person who I could tell you terrifying stories about from our youth that would make your hair curl, he's now dealing with some serious health problems that don't seem to have slowed him down at all but I'm glad he's out here having a nice break.
And after that I'm going to Baden-Baden where lovely Gaia, from previous trips, is coming out to meet me. I'm very lucky on this trip to have so much company.
It is a real shame that I can't thrash the car to within an inch of it's life though, that's sort of the whole point. This thread might as well be on mumsnet this year.
Anyone got a link?

Just seeing videos of the torrential storms in Southern Switzerland (Zermatt) and NW Italy near the French border - bloody hell! Never seen anything like it.
If you’re anywhere near there in Switzerland make sure you stay safe Brad.
That is exactly where I'm heading Boxster! If you’re anywhere near there in Switzerland make sure you stay safe Brad.
