Tour de France 2025 – 3rd week

The two gargoyles were talking in hushed tones as they made over to the aerodrome: ‘Come on we are not mad, we are good at everything, aren’t we,’ said one – while the other one said, ‘quite so, we both remember that huge balloon, and that was fine,’ – as the two of them got into a helicopter.

Scatty and Joan had been still looking for the two gargoyles, not realising that they were up in the sky; they’d been on that big motorcycle for ages weaving around from left to right and back again on the Tour de France.

‘Hold on,’ yelled Scatty, ‘this is a big challenge,’ – but meanwhile Joan yelled back, ‘I am feeling nauseous and I have a headache, although at least I haven’t a malady and I’m sure I’ll be fine when we stop.’

The red-headed woman was on another road listening to many lovely melodies as she hummed in her little red car, it was very much quicker since this was one of the main motorways, and she was going to the south of France having found that The Old One and Mr Cushing had been staying near Cannes.

Francis was still at home and lounging around while watching the Tour de France; he had double-checked the time for the final race, and as usual it was at Paris, on the Champs-Elysees on Sunday.

He smiled as he continued to watch; whoever would win, he would make sure there would be plenty of champagne on ice.

  8. My BIL is glued to the TV so that he can catch every thrilling moment… My sister not so much. Seems that all the characters are on the move! I just hope it doesn’t turn out to be Brownian Motion!

  13. love the POV of this Six (which for me) is hovering above the landscape, noting favorite characters (e.g. gargoyles! lol) and like stepping back from a painting see how no action is completely isolated in its effect.
