[Irn Bru Christmas Ad]

Absolutely loved this advert.  Made me laugh out loud.  Thanks Bugbear [B]

[Pheonix Book Sales]

My wife and I went, and there was a great selection of books to be had. There were also Videos, CDs & DVDs.

Although it was a little busy at times, it was not that bad, and if you just waited behind someone they moved off after a short while and we were able to browse that section and move on.

We then went into the restaurant that the organisers had suggested, and had a wonderful lunch (highly recommended).

After lunch we returned to the venue, where it was now fairly quiet and picked up a few more books.

Got in excess of 50 books.

Very worthwhile visit.

[Surprise bornage]

We had something very similar at the beginning of the year.

We agreed to the bornage as the party who asked for it pays the costs. They are only asking you to help with access to your land to measure etc.

When they have finished you will get another letter asking you to agree the new/existing boundaries. That will be the one you need to check carefully.

[Will YOU pass the test next month?]

As a Scot I have to say I support only 2 teams, Scotland and whoever is playing against England!  ha ha [:P]

Seriously though we have 2 flags on our barn, a Scottish one and a French one.

[Flu Jab Season]

Thanks very much, will have a go over the weekend.

Did you put the needle all the way in?

[Flu Jab Season]

Can anyone help please. Got mine from the pharmacy today, but never injected myself before.

How and where do I inject, and how deep does the needle got in?

Thanks in advance.

[How to catch lizard]

Can anyone help?

We have a rather large lizard in our annexe. We have plenty of the

small ones outside, but this is a a large one, but still very quick.

It is mostly green all over, and has a body the size of a long large sausage!

When we try to get near it, it runs off and hides. It is very quick.

Any ideas how to catch it please. We just want to put it outside, where it belongs!

Thanks.

[Hornets]

We have tracked down the nest now - it appears

our neighbours had a couple of nests in their attic. They are about

150-200 metres from us, and they have, so they say, sprayed the nests

last evening. It is their holiday home (Parisians) so they only found

the nests yesterday when they came down for the weeked.

Still some hornets about today, but numbers now reduced.

Let us hope that has done the trick!

[Hornets]

These are fair comments, except that we have a gite and are expecting guests soon.

It is not a nice thing for guests to see a lot of these very close to them!

[Hornets]

Can anyone help.

We have a hornet problem - but not a nest!

When the weather is warm they appear on and fly around our annexe roof. If there is no sun, or when the annexe is shaded by the main house they disappear, not even a singe one!

Is there anything that can be used as a deterrent?

Thanks for any help in advance.

[Lift from Bergerac Airport to Les Eyzies Area]

Hi,

Thamks for the info, but I am sorted now-arranged to return the car to Perigueux!

Paul.

[English Speaking Hairdresser]

Thanks for the reply Maggie.  We are moving to near Les Eyzies so it would not be far to travel so I would appreciate if you can pass on their details to me.  Thanks again.

[English Speaking Hairdresser]

My french is not that fantastic and I fear visiting the hairdresser not knowing what the outcome maybe.  Is there any hairdressers in the Dordogne region that speak any English. With my little bit of French and even if there only speak a little English we should get there I hope!  I am near Les Ezyies but am more that happy to travel  within the Dordogne region.  Thanks
