    Afternoon all, I hope you have had a good day. We have been to lunch to with 24 friends, where we sat outside in the sunshine to eat, and the shade from the parasols was welcome. One of the joys of living in these rural parts is the number of days you can sit or eat outside. I still feel full so I will not be changing into the working clothes, the jobs can wait until tomorrow. :emoticon-0100-smile

    Yorkie, I'm so sorry to hear your news, it feels like an invasion of your privacy, which, of course, it is! :(

    Good morning all from a cool and dry Weston-super-Mare!

    Have a good day! <ok>

    Morning, dave; morning, all. :)

    Enjoyed a nice bottle of rouge last night whilst watching 'The Fog' (original, obviously ;)). Some quite funny bits, but enjoyable fluff. The vino is rotten for my sleep pattern, though. :emoticon-0118-yawn:

    Weeding with TMS on via a small, plastic, uncomfortable earpiece. My late-teens.

    That's a bugger.:(

    That's a bonus...:)

    Seriously though, it's rotten when this sort of thing happens - I hope you get everything back & the culprits are caught (and put in the stocks for a while)...

    Sorry to hear this.

    On a positive note, did they steal the new £10k lawnmower :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Just stopped sprucing up the wooden containers that Mme plants up for the typical French display of geraniums. There could still be a few cold nights, so not quite safe to put the plants out yet.

    Really sorry to read your news Yorkie. It happened to my mother while she slept in her bed and she was 90 at the time. She never felt safe in her own home for the rest of her life. Of course nothing was ever resolved, although the police said they knew who did it. There have been lots of times we have gone out leaving the keys in the front door without any problems, which is rather different to the several locks on my children's houses in the UK.

    Oh what a pain, you feel violated and whilst others make off with your stuff, you are left with immense hassle. I wish criminals who cause such misery could be made to work to reinstate all you have lost. thinking of you.

    Have never done that up here, but we never used to lock our back door - mainly because we couldn't as the previous owner had done some dodgy DIY when he installed it about 30 years ago. We never bothered about it until a couple of years ago, when an insurance assessor came to assess a claim for some water damage - he spotted it & mentioned that any claims for theft would be refused because of it. So we had a local handyman replace the whole door+doorway.

    Strangely, my wife still goes out without locking it though... :emoticon-0108-speec

    So annoying... a one off an unlikely to be repeated.......
    and a real hassle to replace cards, driving licence, railcard, metro card, library card, staff cards etc etc
    plus we have to get estimates to replace the window
    plus all the jewellry which my wife will have to hassle with the assessor over the value

    and of course so unsettling.......

    Last year when we hired a chalet on Corsica I was given two keys, one for the front door and the other one unknown. It was only on our last day when I was checking that we hadn't left anything behind that I discovered that tucked away in the bottom of a cupboard there was a small safe.
