The gales have started, you should hear it roaring, we moved our cars

Checked the car insurance and then parked under the biggest most rotten looking
tree. We spent a Xmas holiday once in a rented Yorkshire "cottage" that had a
big rotten looking tree upwind of a large LPG tank. Of course there was a gale
but the tree didn't fall down.


I watched French TV news this evening, second big gale of the year coming up. I
thought it was the third. There's flooding along the Garonne.

We are off to Provence tomorrow to look at a dog, the sun may be
shining there, hopefully. *


I hope you find time to have a nice meal or two too.

To keep on topic, I bought some seeds today
at Lidl, only 23 cents a packet for run of the garden sweet peas and
59 cents for hybrid petunia, cheap or what and I shook the packets to
ensure there were seeds in them.


Did you try floating them on the surface of a bucket of water to see if they are
likely to germinate? Thought not )

LOL. I hope to find a good restaurant or two.
