striped trousers

After leaving the food department store, LeClerc; with a bag of apples, a litre of emergency motor oil, and three electric light bulbs, drive the small black car through the huge parking place. There, on the other side of the road is another store, this is one with electronic goods in it.

There is an obscure guidance system in the  parking lot, try to follow, but it does not make sense. Eventually, an empty spot, stop the engine, close the windows, leave the car. All done, get out, and walk into the media shop, observe social distancing all the while.

Find the radio section, there are no internet radios. That is a german expression, apparently. No one knows in France and it is hard to believe. But it must be a problem with the description.
 A young man refers the troublesome customer to a young woman. She is wearing striped trousers. She speaks some English, she is friendly and she wants to help.
She asks others in the building, she returns..

desolé

But she wishes a nice day.


Take the car back.
on the way, the telephone that should be the guide, refuses to work because of overheating.
Use signposts, the old fashioned way.
That works tolerably well.
And in the late afternoon, return to the cave.
