Hello everyone
I’ve had a good week, got plenty done, learnt a few things and I’m looking forward to the weekend.
How about you, did you have a good week, what are you planning for this weekend?

Tomorrow I shall be attending an all day conference on health, natural foods, relaxation, breathing techniques and Thai Chi. Lunch will be eaten at a very good little restaurant nearby to the hall. There will be 41 people for lunch and various numbers for the conference as those with children and other commitments come and go. Should be a good day. 
Sunday I will be finishing decorating a bedroom and moving all the furniture back.

Saturday will be spent dodging the rain and collecting bouquets of buis (boxwood). OH is glad the buis is not in flower this year, as it stinks of …cat’s ppppp…
After being “dealt with” on Sunday, I’ll distribute them throughout the village. for our neighbours who have not been able to organise things themselves (age//infirmity or whatever).
I shall need waterproofs outside… and a good fire and stiff drink inside… 
It is the custom for families to put sprigs onto the tombs in the cemetery and also to keep a sprig in the home (goodwill/goodluck or whatever).

Depends on the weather. If dry tomorrow, wood cutting, if wet I’ve got a gite to get ready. Sunday, 1st grand prix of the season (highlights)

Saturday whatever the weather will probably be out with the Collies out with the Collies and out with the Collies in between predicting a dry spell to wash a multitude of fluffy dog blankets and get them out on the washing line to dry…followed by a cold beer and crashing out to watch a DVD…Sunday most likely the same…I could get a tumble dryer but having managed almost 2 years without one then it’s no longer an item on my wish list…and don’t ask me why I have sooooo many fluffy dog blankets strewn about the place when 9 times out of 10 come crash time me and them are all piled up together…lol…They don’t care what DVD I put on but I’m hoping my next family visit from U.K. results in a few new ones…fancy the new blade runner…x

I’m waiting, impatiently, for news about the apartment I want to buy, in Sancerre. The sun is shining, the snow is two feet deep, I should be sorting my stuff and instead I’m whining about lack of information. Egad. Happy weekend, everyone.

Too much coffee is what I’m having. Raising the cup (I made it myself, the cup… and the coffee) to you. I’m waiting for SAUF/SPANC whomever, to report to the realtor, about whether they found the sewer setup/system is in good shape or not. That’s the holdup flavor of the minute. After that, I’ve got a thousand others. Cheers

Helen, um… car boots; as in trunks of cars? Scenario in which ‘car boot’ would be used…“Hey Ace, got a spare tire?” “Yeah, it’s in the boot…” From my (limited) experience, a car generally comes with said car boot attached. Not as separate portable thing. But then again, maybe car boot is more akin to saddle bag for a motorcycle or one of those clamshell things you can attach to the roof of the car for extra storage?
