only just got computer back - but I suppose it did make me do the washing and ironing instead of playing with computer !!!
Enjoyed France trip but found it so much more expensive than Spain. The French motorway system is very good - off one and on to another so easily and with the aid of the Sat. Nav. we had no problems - now that would have been so different if I was navigating - lol.
Had an experience in one of the French loo's at a picnic area - Paul had said to me they all come out of there shaking their hands - well I went into a cubicle and found what I would have said was a shower tray - I was desperate so I used it - found a button for the flush and got my feet and legs soaked - water went everywhere !! So unlike everyone else I came out shaking hands and feet. I also did not realise that French men relieved themselves anywhere - and I mean anywhere - they would bv locked up in UK and Spain.
Came back home expecting my kitchen to be completed - WRONG - so we have moved back up the mountain until it is sorted - although must say this week it is now resembling something like a kitchen.
Lindy - many thanks for post card from Brazil - glad to hear you have a good time and hope you and hubby are feeling refreshed from your break.
Hope everyone is ok and well
Love Mary xx

I thought it was the British workman who needed the boss around to get a job finished! Only joking! What a disappointment.
