Mornin
Dull but forecast good
Washing still on line (Washing line not tinternet) from yesterday
Great plans for today but things bound to go wrong
Started my diet this morning, no biscuits, cake or chocolate
In a few weeks time we'll be half way through the year
Stay healthy all

As kids we called em pee the beds used to pick them & stick them down yer pals back that meant they would pee the bed.
No-one even said if it was true.

The French for them is Pissenlit (piss-on-lit) and "lit" is the French for bed so its wet-the-bed.

Morning All.
Wife hasn't even gone up to her mothers yet.
Apparently I am beastly for saying we cannot do a 45-minute journey in 10 minutes. She's been grumpy with me since yesterday.
Have a great day, I won't.

.... that contrary to expectations all went well.
We got the old gal in the car bang on 09:15 and I got them to the hospital at 09:50 for the 10AM appointment.
The wheelchair was a godsend and made it so much easier at the hospital end of things.
The old gal had a debridement procedure with some gas & air anaesthetic to help with the pain.
And..... she has another appointment NEXT week.

The French for them is Pissenlit (***-on-lit) and "lit" is the French for bed so its wet-the-bed.

And the French equivalent of "pushing up the daisies" is "manger les ****enlits par les racines" or "to eat the dandelions by the roots".

Sun has eventually shown its face.
Wife now trimming the dog's coat. She is the equivalent of the princess and the pea (the dog I mean) when it comes to this sort of thing, plus W doesn't want her trimmed with the strimmer, so she will be there for a long time. Doing it with scissors.

Rang up the GP for an appt for W. Managed to get one for a week tomoz, not bad compared to my practice in the UK.
The preamble on the phone covered various options including one that said, in a very clear fashion, that if you weren't already on their books, then go away.

French GPs in even only relatively countrified areas are a rarity now.

In a little while I will carry on the search for the old blade for the brush-cutter/mulcher, so that I can modify it into a plain brush cutter. The weeds being thigh high, us having come over here later than usual, plus it having rained like the "vache qui p!**e" for ages.

Turning out to be a sunny day, been putting the sheer back on the machine, hopefully get to destroy somit this afternoon.
