I had a late lunch of cassolette yesterday ( a sort of fish stew ). It is working quite remarkable effects on my internal combustion system.
Edited to save my blushes.

My little brother has given me a Nintendo Gamecube. My mate Julian has given me a Playstation 2.
I am 42.

I am looking after two fish. I have just fed them.
I always wondered why Limoges' Centre Routier had a row of eight budget hotels. Yesterday I found out and had to carry on driving for another two hours.
The Campanile in Cahors had a rude tv channel!

Setting off for Blighty in about an hour. Via Limoux to meet up with our French correspondent Audois, and to see the mighty Grizzlies start their season.
Will be heading for an overnighter somewhere around Limoges tonight, then onto Arras for another night on Monday complete with some WW1 stuff.
Home in time for tiffin on Tuesday.
Well that's the plan. Anyone want owt bringing back?
Oh, and happy birthday little Ginger.
You must be very proud. -
Right, that's the bathroom cleaned. Time for some hoovering next I think.

Just taken the last of my month's medicaments
I can have a drink in three days.
After yesterday's exertions, which included helping two builders lift a cross beam into a roof, I am a bit pooped this morning.
Off to Toulouse then, to take my godson for what seems to be unending visits to the hospickle. He is a bit of a leveller. And then the inevitable trip to Ikea on the way home.

The Land Rover has been successfully jump started.
I am off for a snooze.

A busy day lined up tomorrow.
I am going to try and jump start a Land Rover.

I'm debating what to do.
1. Clean shave
2. Trim (how?)
3. Let it be free
I enjoy it, the missus enjoys it, but it just feels ...
Let if be free! Beards are great if for no other reason than they offer an extra five minutes in bed each morning.
Or go for options one or two, change your mind and grow another one. Such choices in life should be cherished.

I have a beard.
I've just shaved mine off.

I've just been sent a new Agent Provocateur email.
I may be away from here for some time...........

Back from Andorra where I got:
some tobacco
three and a half litres of gin (1.75 of bombay dry, and 1.75 of bombay sapphire)
some wine glasses
1 kg of sugar snakes
15 kgs of sugar
a selection of togs for Mrs Timtum
a tankful of diesel at 80p per litre
14 CDs (sonic youth, tom waits, buffalo springfield, lambchop)
a two course meal (some stew thing with bits of unidentified meat and chorizo floating in lentils, followed by
catalan sausage)
and a haircut.
I was stopped twice by customs on the way home.
Must have been the haircut.

I've just been cycling again.
It is the variety of life that makes it worth living.
Now I am going to try and do some of that instant messaging internet stuff for the first time.
Oh, and tomorrow I am going to Andorra to buy some unfeasibly cheap tobacco, a bottle or two of gin, and some electronic gizmos that I will never use.
And today is my 16th day without booze. I have emerged out of the other side of the climbing walls while perspiring freely stage.

I think it is probably better live and following drink.

On my walk with a stupid dog I saw:

two eagles
an adder
and two builders
