Very much looks like it. *It was certainly on its own and was

Hmmm.. Fossicking. I've just learned a new word.
Thanks Sacha!

;-) I have no idea of its origins or even if it's a 'real' word but it
does
describe such an action perfectly.

Well there you are! I'm bilingual and I didn't even know it. ;-))

There's no end to your talents Sacha. Aren't you trilingual? )

Jawohl.

Ja ja Fraulein Sacha!

I meant in Norman French.

Never learned Jerriais unfortunately. I learned 'real' French from the age
of 4 or 5 but in those days there was almost a move to stamp out what was
seen as a patois by the snootier minded. Now, it's an alternative subject
in some schools. It's quite different to French in many ways and I can
understand little of it, though I do have a Jersey French/French dictionary.
