    BB.......Have they disposed of the act up there yet where a wife is a chattel? <laugh>

    "Never mind, it's only a game" does not get quoted by my planting. ;)

    <yikes> You mean they've done away with it elsewhere? Better keep this hidden from 'Er Indoors!

    I do seem to remember her asking me many moons ago whether I considered her to be one of my chattels - to which I replied no. My big mistake was to add that I understood the term goods and chattels to mean animate and inanimate objects - I was immediately accused of viewing her as part of my goods. :(

    evening all. Couldn't get on the site for hours, what's up with that!? Anyway, here now, and just seen the highlights on the telly. I don't like the blue one bit (really, not worth talking about the goals, is it!). I hope we don't wear it too much...it's not a good look. Just sayin'

    Evening all, been watching an awful lot of TV lately.:( This life of sitting around does not suit me very much. 10 days completed and 50 to go. I don't complain because there is an end to it when I can throw the crutches away and park the wheelchair. Having seen the paralympics I am reminded that some will never get the use of their limbs back.

    Speaking of the paralympics I do think that the Channel 4 coverage is pretty grim. Yesterday evening I timed the actual events and there was three minutes between adverts. Can't say that some of the presenters are up to much either.

    Whoops starting to complain. ;)

    Ísland has the first medal of all the Olympic games this year. Jon Margeir Sverrisson won a gold medal for 200M freestyle S14. S14 is the intellectual problem athlete who is swimming freestyle backstroke or butterfly.

    OFH keep to your wheel chair and get your ankle better. I had to go back to find the cause and breking a tendon can only be very painful.

    I hate the adverts between paralympics too M Frenchie, though i have to admit, i don't have a problem with the presenters..especially Claire Balding...though some of the interviewers are a bit bad...some classic questions being asked like "what will you do with your medal?" - that was today's gem. There was an even more bonkers question the other day but sadly i can't remember what it was..

    If any of you go to Budapest, you must go to the Dohany Synagogue. Even as a non-Jew, I appreciated what a fantastic building it is - no pictures could do it justice. I also found the guide who did the tour was very good.

    Morning all, bright and sunny here with the temperature heading back up into the 30Cs again this week. Mme Lebon made a flying visit this morning as one of the other people she visits has been taken really ill overnight and needed her attention far more than I do.

    All of a sudden it has become very quiet in our hamlet. There are several houses owned by Brits used for holidays, and over the past few weeks there have been children riding bikes and playing in the lane. There are also a number of French children who come to stay with grand parents for three or four weeks during the summer. All of a sudden they have returned to their homes to start another school year.

    Morning all from a bright West West London - rather strange morning in bandit country. Mrs W_Y is back to work, #2 son is on jury service in bandit central and little Miss W_Y starts her internship at ESPN in London...

    Thanks for the frothy AK

    Got home yesterday evening and there wasn't any paperwork from pie's new school. Phoned him earlier to find out if any had arrived at his mum's house (wasn't going to call last night, the ferry they were on wasn't due to arrive until 10.20) and there wasn't any paperwork there either. He's supposed to be starting at the school on Weds so this is worrying.
