Shopping and a French letter

We were all a little slow of the ground this morning after rather a late night reminiscing  over things past. As our friend had not been in the house for several months there were a number of items that needed work and one such thing was the house phone had stopped working completely and this turned out to be due to a bad battery and I also think due to the change of router the phone would not work as about 15 years old, so a new one was required.

So in the morning we did a run down to Montauban to a Super U Hypermarket where we purchased some new kitchen utensils , a three handset phone and a few other things and then proceeded home for lunch of cheese and biccies on the balcony. We also needed to collect the spare car from a garage about 30 minutes away as it had been there for some repairs and was needed and of course as u cannot drive more than one car at a time a lift to this place and the car was collected. Upon return we set up the new phone which, after a few hiccups works fine and its a big improvement on the other one which is great.

We had thought of going out for dinner to the local restaurant which is apparently very goo but they have a very limited menu and so to avoid my problems we stayed in and had a cold salmon salad which was very nice indeed. No wine tonight and played it straight.

With regard to the French letter , there is an ongoing wrangle with regard to property inherited by the Roux family and its descendants, which includes me and my two sisters where a property in France needs to be sold but their is a guy who believes the property is his and wont move out. This who issues has been ongoing for the last 4/5 years and getting tiresome. Its a very complicated matter and the French legal process is slow which does not help. Oh well lets see what happens next.

After dinner we watched some you tube stuff including a 45 minute documentary about the Millau Bridge which are planning to visit tomorrow. We decided we need an early night but still about 10.30 pm

Time for bed
