My favorite day is today. I look out of the wondow each 'today' and see what the weather is doing and I can plan 'today' around it. When I was at work it was tomorrow, because 'tomorrow' never arrives and it is always an unknown to look forward to. Now though it's definately today! [8-|] I live for today!

Don't shout that out too loud Ernie or people will accuse you of fosse accounting mate [:-))]

That same sort of thing happened at a local police station in the U.K. When they came to investigate what had happened they found that they had nothing to go on [Www][Www]

I suppose that the saying that offence is the best form of defence is coming into play here?

He ain't rushed back yet Dave init. But ignoring the post above yours, we had a SPANCing a couple of weeks back, followed by a soil permiability test and are now th eproud owners of a coupe of sheaves of paper. So, when we do come to eventually sell up the new owners can see what they are going to have to do. After 35 years of living off mains drainage I can see no reason why anyone would be sh!t scared of doing so? So, what's the problem or isn't there one?

I was always taught that a recipe is a guide and only that. I love cooking and the last thing I did was yesterdays lunch, an omlette asperges sauvages with the goodies collected on our walking group outing Tuesday. I have cooked with whisky a couple of time and I actually put some in the grub once, but not too much. Wine too and some of that goes in the grub too [:-))]

I'm looking forward to the youtube cancan performance from you Judith [6] Come on now, don't be shy! Well done lass [kiss]

We were put in a similar position with Citroën a few years ago. We were presented with a 2000€ bill for a repair that should never have happened, cat converter failure after a few thousand Km. I wrote a stinking letter to the CEO of Citroën and the bill was quashed within a few days. The complaint from me had been going on for ages and I was getting nowhere until I started to rattle top top dogs cage. We will be cancelling our Free contract in the next few months and if there are any problems I will be contacting the boss, Xavier Niel (he sounds like an interesting bloke?) This may be of help? https://en.selectra.info/broadband-phone-france/providers/free-contact#post Scroll down a little and there's the address, I think, and their English customer line number. At the bottom of the page is their HQ address in Paris! Good luck. The bosses don't like their cages being rattled [blink]

Even if you don't have farcebook Norman and personally I wouldn't touch it with someone elses long pole. But that video is quite dramatic! Our part of the Aude was well behaved as far as I know? That must have been quite near the bottom end? It's a shame they didn't say. This is a handy site if you want to know the state of the rivers. If you click on the various points it gives quite a lolot of gen. https://www.vigicrues.gouv.fr/niv2.php No need to worry Sue, the submerged bridge was about 4 foot or so down and get's to vanish when the river rises. The fun bit was in 1999 and the village was cut off for 4 daze!! That was 5 years BJ  (BJ = before John [8-|] ) Just as a matter of interest? I wonder if that is where this came from [:-))]

As you know, the Aude rises in the Pair-a-knees, but all this rain seems to have been up our way and north into the Montagne Noir. The Clamoux is our jobbie and it came up very quiickly, dropped the same too. That joins the Orbiel and then onto the Aude in Trebes. Any news of Judith? Probably running too fast to catch now [:-))]

Around here they normally put an ad in the local news papers when they are going to set up the gendarmes doing the hairdrier act, but I haven't seen the ones like wot you got? I always stick strictly to the speed limits and never exceed them, well sometimes anyway [:-))]

I hope that all has gone well for you today Judith and that yer on yer way back to a comfortable way of life lass! Just as  a matter of interest this was our little river at the bottom of the village just after lunch time. Normally it sits in the bottom of a gully, for the want of a better name.

Hi Judith, I hope that all is well with you during this drought we are having today [:-))] Well, not quite a drought with 86mm of rain falling since midnight! Our village has 4 ways in/out, one being a small track in places. The 3 main ways are now flooded and impassable! Luckly enough the village is built on a slope up from the river that is causing the cutoff so flooding can happen but nulikely? It is the heaviest rain we have seen in the 12 years here and there looks like more to come? good luck!!

Oh good grief [:'(] Everest with gammy knees [:-))] Was that in the Daley Male? If so then it must be true, but I hadn't realised the Everest had knees [8-)] Next they will be doubting that there really is a double decker bus on the moon? Perhaps it will show up during eclips tonight [geek]

A good friend of ours had a big knee op in the Clinic Montreal here in Carcassonne. Then she spent 6 weeks in the new re-education centre alongside the new general hospital. She had physio every day and when she left she walked out and she did not need a walking stick at all. It transformed her life. As far as I can make out the hip jobbies don't take so long as knees to recover from, so if the chance of getting that fascility is there it can only be a great idea.. It sounds pretty well the same sort of place as ours here? Good luck lass!

reimmagrunt? Thinking about it reimagrunt? That could be taken as sexist init?  So re persagrunt may be better [8-|] Edit : - I forgot to say. Those web sites look really good Idun. I'll have to TRY to remember to have a gander at they..

That would make you  repatexpat/reimmagrunt [8-)] or sumfin like that I?[:-))]

She could always make it a family affair, like the United States of Trump Inc., USoT [8-|] Or if he were to adopt my name for him, at an enormous cost of course, it would be the Uniter States of Donald Duck, or USoDD [B]

 thought about it Judith, but if you are to have your op in Carcassonne then let us know and I will see about visiting you and bringing a bottle of grapes [blink] Well, it's a bit late for a bunch init [:-))]

Hi Judith, I hope that things are a little better for you and the village now? Also good luck with your op [kiss][kiss] GG, I do love your signature [6] Quite subtle init [:-))] (sorry but I just couldn't resist that one. It did make me chuckle [blink] )

Idun, as they say 'Owz-zat'. Give it a try above now. I must have had a senior memont there [8-)]

Chris, the first 2 items in this may help you? It's an article about selling, but I think these are usseful to the buyer too?

One of the meanings for IBM, a very good firm to work for in my day, was Involountary Bowel Movement which might well be appropriat for this thread [8-|] I assume that assumptions are always wrong then? I thought that it was that generalisations were always wrong [:-))] When we lived in Villemoustassou we thought that we werer on a fosse and there was one in the garden, but it had been bypassed and connected to the mains. There had been a blockage and it din arf confuse the plumber .

Now, what questions do you ask when you don't know what questions to ask? My other favorite is. The only dum question is the one you don't ask. "Surely no real person can be this unaware..." Why not? You seem to be unaware that some of us don't know all the answers and very often don't even know where to start looking. If I had had that attitude with my customers when I worked for IBM then I would have been out of a job toot-flamin-sweet. So please try to be aware that some are niave at some things?

No Chris, just a case of handbags, but it will soon go down the pan [Www] I think it's been a case of supply and answer, then find out what the question was? 15k? But it is a large tank and normally in a lovely shade of green plastique [blink] "How can it just go out to the land, hows that work?" Big field, saves the farmer muck spreading init [:-))]
