Re: are we missing val :-)
Do you know the music of Alan Stivell?
He's been the figurehead of Breton music since the late 60s.
He's dotted around on you tube but the clips don't do justice - make him look rather Las Vegas (a small hamlet near your new house I suspect!). Anyhow, if you can find an Album called "E Langonned" it is really fantastic. Here's the title track from youtube

Ah, great to have one's spine tingled. Yep, sure was a find on Tres's part - I am scouring the internet to try to find his stuff. Wish I still had Limewire, as it is probably downloadable from there.
Just today bit the bullet and booked ahead £30,000 worth of euros - just hoping it goes up a weeny bit before mid May - my eyes are square from watching 4x in real-time, where the thing updates every 5 seconds. Up and down more than a tart's knickers .............

Lawks, what a way to learn! The broker bloke on the end of the line I was talking to was really funny - after I booked it, just before he rang off, he said "Shite, it's gone down .45 since you rang and booked it - I just lost 15 euros" and we fell about.

BRING BACK MATRON PLEASE
The beds are unmade, the laundry laughable, the floors a disgrace, the nurses don't give those extra little touches that make life in the waiting room worthwhile. We need Matron not some distant sort of comic strip not quite super hero to sort our problems. She cared you see. About us. The people of not quite France and all their delicate constitutions. When a nappy was needed she knew that we needed a good Wellington up the backside and had no fear. Yes. I am bored.

Re: are we missing val :-)
Well after weeks, nay months, of computer problems I am now back on my own machine and hopefully it will now stay functioning. Seems it isn't the computer but those nasty little gremlins from Windows Vista fighting Hewlet Packard and Skype and the likes, so every time there was an update my system went down. Nevertheless I have managed to stay in touch with Val, who will be back in Normandy shortly. Hooray! Love to you all.

Do you have an anti-virus program to keep the nasties away ?
