[Plumbing - water supply - GdS]

Lots of sensible advice for you to follow. The main thing is to ensure you are not going to be sent huge water bill. Look at the meter and take a reading. Do not use any water and After a few hours check the new reading. If the difference is only slight you probably do not have a big leak on your side although a minor leak could be present. If any leak is substantial the meter would show a noticeable change.

Even just a change of 0.1 in an hour is a bad sign.

Hope it is just in your ears. I have a steady, continuous hissing in my ears that could be interpreted as an external noise just as you describe.

You could also declare her email address as spam so future emails will be directed there. Empty spam regularly with a single action.

If you are brave enough you could tell her not to send her blog information but you would still like to receive general emails.

We are not there to check, but I am sure that SuperU in La Chatre stocked it in the English section.
