I've been to Cologne, once, for the Carnaval. According to W who used to have to go there on business all the time, Cologne is the most boring town ever. Only two things relieve it, Carnaval where they all go flipping mad for a week, and the Christmas market!! So maybe this burd got so sick of...

So how would he, or you, turn the watter off if you needed to, frinstance, change your stop cock? Barmy!

Off out soon to pick up the apple juice we forgot to get yessdi. Very misty and a bit cooler today, we are I think in the cloud base.:):):)

Is you on a shared water main then? :eek:

According to the Frog fire brigade at least 80 % more like 90% have a human cause either deliberate, or accidental like chucking a lighted cigarette out of a car window. They are trying to say that things like lightning strikes do not commonly start fires. and I don't think it is a law, I...

Oh dear, and I thought they were Frau and Fraulien. Today I have the sisters Knee-ertz as well as their mother Frau Thumertz. Still we keep battling on, don't we?!:)

Love it! I had quite a few with musical themes. One they particularly like showed a pair of slightly blurred hands playing a keyboard. After I had been disciplined for something I didn't do, I got rather angry and my wife bought me one of those ties which if you keep steady and look at in a...

On shelves next to the kipper-like ties!

It has actually been raining here, but it is as if the clouds are on work to rule, as the drops are so slow.

If you have clothes you haven't really worn you must have been a bit of a dandy in the past. I have to admit to having worn all of mine regularly, though my red weskit with the shiny back got a few looks askance when I wore it around school! The kids loved my ties. did you wear a lot of ties? I...

Living in the Montagne Noire, so called because the mountain sides are covered in Oak trees, or pines, more recently. We do worry a bit about fires. In all the time we have holidayed here and since then lived here 6 months of the year, there have been fires. So far we have been lucky, but you do...

I'll be honest with you, people over here don't really modify their cars as it is sooo illegal. You will be breaking type spec for the model. No mech will want that hanging over them. After an accident I had a job persuading a mech to mend a mount for a suspension mounting piece by simply...

So as it isn't too hot I have been out with the big weedwhacker/mulcher. Running better since its service. Did one tank, came in, about to go out again. I think I must be the only person for miles around cutting grass/weeds as they have all stopped growing, but then I didn't cut them when all...

Have to say I am a bit jealous in that any clothes I wore before retirement and a little while after I could no longer get into, except for shirts and sweaters. Jackets would not button up and trews wouldn't get anywhere near fastening. The diff between 32" and 36". Yet I eat far less than I did...
