I’m not sure but I think it just happened again: it’s happening more and more. John and I were in a park not far from our hotel, where he could use the small outside gym presumably built for the events of last year. While he was doing so, I decided to take a short trundle to have a look around. As I was going along a nearby road though, a guy on a bike started to take the piss. That is to say, he started to make the kind of repetitive,  non-verbal sounds which you sometimes hear people with severe learning difficulties making, before shouting something at me in French. I don’t know why people do this, whether they find it funny or what they are trying to imply, but I nonetheless find it deeply hurtful. It feels like they are saying that I have learning difficulties and they therefore have a right to mock me. As I say,  it is happening more and more, and it seems that even here in France I can’t escape it.
