No hostilities required. It can be a strong card to keep handy next time you have a conversation - if neighbour remains obstinate

Garden fires are forbidden everywhere in France, regardless of time of day, so that's a strong argument (Code de l'environnement Article L. 541-21-1). No exceptions.

€94 for a vet xray is good value (at least compared to a dog). I wish Calvin a speedy recovery - my dog is about to be operated on tomorrow for a torn ligament (ligament croisé), one week after the xray, and that's going to be around €800 on top. Followed by complete rest for 6 (SIX) weeks. Eek.

The only way to listen to your dulcet tones in English is for the phone to be in English. But that created issues in other apps - which is why it's in French (I live in France). Loads of peeps are complaining about this YouTube feature, that can't be simply disabled with a button.

I've fallen into the YouTube auto-translate trap, using a french android device. Larry & Paul replaced by a robotic French voice, with no override, is too unbearable to watch. I'll treasure the memories instead.

Portfolio update : The Mirror of Pride "She's been following me for several days; I only see her at dusk. She always stays about ten paces away. When I confront her, she claims to be my shadow. I then asked her if I was her light. She replied that I was confusing my pride with her patience."
