Well you'll be pleased to know that we have still got all our plantations, having carefully watered them morning and evening. We're impatient for the seeds to start poking through but I suppose we can wait.... A couple of things I've thought about that we take pretty much for granted. Before we left B-town there was talk in the UK press about bin collections reducing to once a fortnight (I believe this is not happening, thankfully). Here five nights out of seven there are refuse collections, twice for general and once each for packaging, paper and glass. Pretty impressive, huh?
On the downside I visited the doctor last week to renew a prescription from home. We haven't been able to get private medical care yet as we're awaiting our Carte Vitale (French bureaucrary has not speeded up any!) We will get SOME money back but one inhaler cost nearly 70€, on top of 22€ to see the doctor, very pleasant as she was. Next time you pay for a prescription thank the NHS!
Although the photos above are not related to my writing I thought you might like to see a couple more of the soon-to-disappear jetty plus only our 2nd jelly fish this year! (The sexy legs are mine, of course!)
