Tango

We went over to Gruissan for a walk yesterday and someone tried to break into the car whilst we were away from it. We never leave anything in it, so they broke a window for absolutely no gain whatsoever! So we had to visit the gendarmerie today to report it and get a crime number. We then went to a glass place, who unsurprisingly didn't have the glass in stock, so we're going back on Wednesday afternoon to get it replaced hopefully. We're going to pay for it ourselves, as the insurance excess is pretty much what it's going to cost anyway and we don't need to lose any no claims, as the insurance is expensive enough already! Unfortunately the holidaymakers have descended on our area en-mass and so, the lowlife scum have arrived with them!

I'm sure I can see some of you lot in this video!

The 14th July fireworks here in France conveyed a special message!

You can't park that there!

Priorities!

At last, a carrying handle for car batteries!

Good luck mate. I'm guessing that they'll meet you somewhere in the middle on the price. Where is the house located?

Hopefully you won't have to wait too long, Pete. I've got to say that I've been really impressed with the healthcare here. Mandy had her first appointment for her gallstones a couple of months back. She had scans done in a couple of weeks, which confirmed the gallstones, then had a few weeks wait to see the gastroenterologist who decided that surgery was the best option. She then saw the surgeon, who looked at all the files and prodded her stomach to confirm that the diagnosis was good and then asked to set a date for the operation. Mandy declined the first date proposed, because it was just before her son came over, so the surgeon suggested the next date, which was last Tuesday.

Nice pics, Bob. You're on the donkey, what's your mate riding?

Thanks @Slowlycatchymonkey.

All this time you made your good lady suffer!

Thanks Pete. She's back home again now and not feeling too bad, so, it's looking good so far mate.

She's back home again now, Clive, thanks. The surgeon seemed pretty happy with how it went according to Mandy, so, fingers crossed!

Dropped Mandy off at the hospital at 7:00 this morning for her operation. She's back in the recovery room and waiting for the all clear so that I can go and spring her!
