March 27

France

After a very smooth 18 hours trip, we finally arrived at 3.00 AM in the little town of Romont.
This day has been spent in the car and Petrol services...
So here is the obvious shot... :)
No need to say that I am knackered!

That's a lot of colorful trucks!
Thanks Dan for the definition of "knacker."

I see Dan's been doing his research - I guess that covers 'knackered' pretty well! hope you had a good trip

knacker |?nak?r| Brit. noun a person whose business is the disposal of dead or unwanted animals, esp. those whose flesh is not fit for human consumption.
verb [ trans. ] [often as adj. ] ( knackered) informal tire (someone) out; exhaust : you look absolutely knackered. • damage severely.
ORIGIN late 16th cent.(originally denoting a harness-maker, then a slaughterer of horses): possibly from obsolete knack [trinket.] The word also had the sense [old worn-out horse] (late 18th cent.). It is unclear whether the verb represents a figurative use of ‘slaughter,’ from the noun sense, or of ‘castrate,’ from a slang sense of the noun, [testicles.]

I'm glad you didn't give in today, and managed to upload this shot.
Such days are difficult to do a PAD as my shot here testifies
