Confirmation on Sean Bean in Game of Thrones…

Along with Mark Addy as King Robert…

So, two weeks in the land of cheese and wine.

After struggling down the Gorge de Galamus in a wetsuit, climbing up above the clouds to revisit Peyrepertuse (and into the fog for Montsegur), trailing down into the bowels of the earth for the Grotte de Niaux and the 14000 year-old paintings, driving through thick night-time fog with no roadmarkings on the way back from Andorra, swimming in the lakes at Montbel and Puivert, relaxing in the hot springs at Ax-les-Thermes, standing goggle-eyed outside the incredible Fortress of Ultimate Evil which is Amiens Cathedral…

I’m back to find the boiler isn’t working, the roofer hasn’t arrived, it’s raining, and I’ve got a pile this long *gestures* of things to do.

Bah.

Edit:
So by 4.30 today, my day has consisted of:
- The boiler not working (and the plumber being on holiday ’til the 27th)
- The roofer not turning up
- HSBC telling my my credit card has been used fraudulently
- 6 inches of water in the floor of my car (dodgy doorseal)
- And at least three other irritating things that I can’t discuss publicly.

Double bah! Or even triple…
