GOT A RESPONSE FROM A COUSIN IN AUSTRIA.
SHE ANSWERED IN GERMAN (WHICH I HAVE NO COMPREHENSION AT ALL) AND I FORWARDED THE MESSAGE TO MY WIFE'S NIECE WHO IS STUDYING TO BE A TRANSLATOR.
SHE SPEAKS FRENCH, ENGLISH, SPANISH AND GERMAN.
SHE RESPONDED WITH THE TRANSLATION QUICKER THAN I EXPECTED AND I WAS VERY HAPPY TO READ THE MESSAGE IN ENGLISH.
A BIT INVOLVED, BUT WELL WORTH IT.
THANK YOU AGAIN "F" FOR YOUR WONDERFULL HELP.

FRENCH BANKS
OVER THE WEEKEND ONE OF OUR BANKS CHANGED THEIR WEBSITE AGAIN.
AND FUCKED IT UP.
ASSHOLE PROGRAMMERS IN THIS COUNTRY CAN'T MAKE A DECENT SITE TO SAVE THIER LIVES.
YESTER DAY IT RAN SLOW AS SHIT?
AND TODAY THE ACCESS IS IMPOSSIBLE.
IT'S A PAYABLE SERVICE BUT THEY DON'T KNOW SERVICE FROM A HOLE IN THE WALL AT THAT BANK.
I AM SO ANGRY I COULD SPIT.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO ACCESS OUR ACCOUNT SINCE THIS MORNING.

REFLECTIONS ON FRENCHIFICATION
I HAVEN’T BEEN BACK TO WORK TOO LONG NOW, ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2 WEEKS LAID UP WITH A BAD BACK,
BUT I’M ALREADY LQQKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT VACATION FROM OCT 22 TO NOV 2.
I’M GETTING TO BE LIKE MY WIFE IN THAT RESPECT
. FRENCHIFIED IS WHAT I AM!
I MISS MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN THE STATES, BUT I SEND EMAILS AND POST PHOTOS AND NOW THIS BLOG, BUT ZIP , I GET VERY LITTLE RESPONSE.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES,
BUT I HAVE TO CALL TO GET THAT INFO.
I AM TIED OF BIG PHONE BILLS WHICH WE DON’T NEED AT THIS STAGE OF OUR LIVES. WE HAVE TO LEARN TO ECONOMISE SINCE ANNIE WILL BE RETIREING IN A FEW YEARS.
SHE HURTS ALL THE TIME BEING ON HER FEET SO LONG WHILE TEACHING.
I CAN’T WAIT TILL NEMOURS IS FINISHED WITH RENOVATIONS AND WHEN SHE RETIRES SO WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OFF SEASON VACATIONS , WHEN AIRFARE AND RENTALS ARE AT LOW RATES.
I USED TO HAVE HUNDREDS OF FRIENDS CO WORKERS AND FAMILY TO TALK TO IN THE STATES. HERE I HAVE ONLY A HANDFULL OF FRIENDS TO TALK TO.
I AM A PEOPLE PERSON AND I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE!
LIFE IS GETTING CLOSE TO THE END AND THE WAKE WON’T BE A BIG PARTY LIKE I HOPED FOR.
NOTHING IS SURE IN LIFE.
I ONLY WISH I HAD THE ENERGY I HAD WHEN I FIRST CAME HERE. IF ANNIE HAD NEMOURS THEN, I COULD HAVE DONE A LOT OF THE WORK MYSELF. AS IT IS I HAVE TROUBLE BENDING AND LIFTING. I HAVE A PICKER UPPER IN ALMOST EVERY ROOM SO I DON’T HAVE TO BEND DOWN.
ON THE WHOLE I HAVE A GREAT LIFE…..BUT…..THAT HUMAN CONTACT I AM USED TO IS VERY MINIMUM.
ENOUGH OF MY SAD SACK REFLECTIONS…
I NEED TO GET BACK TO SARCASM AND DOUBLE ENTENDRE , SO I MAY BE INTERESTING AGAIN.
CAIO FOR NOW.
