  1. All morning he was trying to get  emails. He started up his old computor and got them off there. His computor was a Imac english; He can get everything on the new one; internet, hotmail, but no outlook express. He has the icon for it but cannot get email . Please help me to help him, thank you. Thank you
  2. For the sake of my sanity yet alone his. Could someone please help me to help my hubbie. He has a new computor. He can get his hotmail email, but not his wanadoo fr. It keeps telling him there is an error; I'm not sure who will go mad first if he doesn't rectify this. PLEASE any ideas. Hello grumpy old man I hope you read this too. LM
  3. I had done a bit of research and think it maybe pholas dactylus which bores holes in marly limestone. I need to find out what the stone is on the Il .I think this is a possibility.
  4. I have just found 7 caterpillars on my fennel plant. Extremely pretty. Lime green, black stripes with orange spots. I think I have identified it as some sort of swallowtail. I had lots of different tpes in my garden this year. I am just not sure what sort. I would insert a photo, but I don't know how to do it onto a post.
  5. I dont think it is just natural weathering. Some stones have many holes in.
  6. Yesterday I spent the day on the Ile d ré. I went a walk (in the pouring rain) on the beach to see if I could find a pebble with a hole in it. To my amazement there where hundreds.The stones seem to be sandstone/limestone very soft with very deliberately made holes in them . Obviously some creature, anyone any idea please. I love 'holey' pebbles, never have I seen so many in one place. Thank you
  7. Broad beans seems a possibility. I have never seen such big Lupin seeds. I believe the protugese eat them as an apperitif. They were with dried  beans, lentils.  They don't look appetising at all. Thank you for the translation.
  8. I have just bought a  tiny bag of this out of curiosity. At least I think they are edible Lupin seeds. I got them from Carrefour. Does anyone know what I do with them, they are dried. Quite a large seed. Not like Lupins back in UK.  I obviously have to soak them. Has anyone tried them?
  9. Look for Lardina, near the cold meats.
  10. A couple of friends have recently bought ORD 9540 OPTEX, Free to air sattelite digital recievers. Neither can get them to work. They cannot even find the menu system. I am told to say system keeps going to Hotbird instead of Astra. They know they are cheap, and  also French boxes but just can't get them to work. Any ideas please.
  11. I came with my cat on a 9 hour journey. She cried all the way. I used an incontinence sheet for adults in her box. They are very absorbent. I changed it three times, but she wasn't wet. She did do a poo on it too. What a smell ! I just wrapped the onconto sheet up and disposed of it, carefully.  
  12. Home needed for 2 kittens, and a mom. Obviously does not have to all be to the same place. Mom is 2years, and this is her second pregnancy. She was chucked out of her home when owners bought a dog. Very friendly and a very good mother. She had four kittens I have taken 2. She has managerd to survive bcecause people give her scraps.

  15. Where do I put this on my pink and blue forms tax forms please.
  16. Well I certainly would like to. I looked at your list I think Villfagan is the nearest. Thank you Molly
  17. I was so delighted a week ago when I came across 20+ Bee Orchids, and 15 +Lady Orchids growing at the side of the road in my village. St Martin d'Entraigues dept 79; I have beep up there a few times a day, and just been so amased at their beauty. Imagine my horror when I went up there tonight and find that they have all gone. The banks have all been cut, and all the wild flowers have been destroyed. Dead bee orchids not a pretty site. I would like to express my sadness to the Marie, but my french isn't good enough. Can anyone help please.I would like to know if they are endangered species in France. I am so distressed at this 'unintentional' vandalism. Every grass verge gets cut back like this, they all look bald and horrible now. 
  18. My friend died, and her family said I could have her car, as they didn't want to go through the trouble of taking it back to England. Somehow they threw away the garte gris. How on earth can I get the car changed to my name. It was english and has all other papers but no carte gris.  Thank you
  19. I have found anthracite works well on my small fire.I live near Chef Boutonne. The only place I can find to buy it is Weldon, Melle? Does anyone know of anywhere else please, maybe in bulk. Thanl you Molly
  20. I have to go for my annual review soon. I suffer from depression and panic attacks. I feel it is important to take someone with me to help with translation,. Depression isn't like a broken leg you can see. I cannot adaquatly describe how I feel in French. I still have to do all the other bits, bend, lift arm ect which I can do, but it is difficult to explain in French those inner feelings cause by depression. I had a letter from Limoge this time, last year it was Niort.Why the change I know not.
  21. Sadly, I need to consider one of the above. Married in UK. Both of us resident in France. I just can't seem to find out what to do. I would like it to be as amicable as possible neither wants anything from the other.  Thank you
