Well, i've been up on the highest roof here twice tonight and managed to see loads and loads of shooting stars as we pass through the Perseids which have been pushed nearer to us this year due to the influence of Jupiter.
Lovely, some of them very bright and a few green in colour.
We also saw the local barn owl flying out to hunt and later returning home to his ruined building with some supper.
Marvelous night, but it's now 5.30 and time i got a bit of kip.
Night night roommates. :)

Good morning John. Good morning all.

Today I need to get more food supplies.

Son flies out tomorrow and husband will be picking him up from Nimes so I can't have the car in the morning ... with my back that means no lugging lots of heavy stuff back from tomorrow morning's market on my own :D

I wonder what I sent you? I'll have a siesta later and see if I can let you know! :D

[quite]sorry you have to lug the bags on your own :([/QUOTE]
Nothing to lug tomorrow :D

JoesDad and I just did the local supermarket for heavy stuff as adding a 6'6" 20 year old male to the household means I need to increase the food in stock considerably!

Tomorrow's market list reads:
Goats cheese
Sausages (the dry type)
Saucisses aux herbes (yummy from local butcher's stall)
2 x bread

Well within my carrying limit :)

JoesDad and sister will head off to the airport first thing tomorrow (it's about 45 minutes from here) - he only has hand luggage and there'll be no passports on arrival - and I'll head down the market before the locals empty it of the good stuff :)

Yes good chat and was glad to get out - my neighbours have excelled themselves today
and reached an all time low in the stakes for lack of consideration
I'll go and see if there's any break in the clouds in a bit.
So sorry, Lyn.
My noisy neighbors sold the house and now we have a quiet couple living next to us.
Hope yo get the same relief.
What have they done, now?

Good morning.
I'll be visiting here today because I have foreman duty again.
I spent two hours yesterday waiting on dispatch to send me a tow truck after that DODGE broke down on me.
I ended up driving the 43 miles back with no power steering and smoke billowing out of the hood and fenders.
Boy, I just love going on the road with these crappy vehicles. It's like they can tell that I hate them.....

We're having a true Florida style thunderstorm.
Lots of lightning strikes and explosions.
Hi Ed, I remember lying on the beach near the Chateau h/motel in Miami and out of the blue there was a crack of thunder that really made me jump - it sounded like gunshot. All over very quickly but a good excuse to make a dash for the beach bar!

It was Miami.
It probably WAS a gunshot!
