I can't find my fractal shoes...

Not only is Eric's temple cracking but someone left an abandoned car outside his gate yesterday. Being frightfully smart they removed the numberplates before leaving. Unfortunately the numbers remain entirely visible in the dirt ingrained surface of the citroen. More unfortunately the local council will leave it there for years because a)It is a French car. b) They cannot fine anybody to make some money out of it, nor will they pay for a tow truck.
But the sun is out...
