"There's a what? What does that say? A bull in my field!?"

Environmental Problem

The main problem I've found with environmentalists:
their views on lights. Yes, lights. Not that we've all have to change to a lower wattage of bulb, that's no issue for me personally. It's the automatic time out switch set to movement that causes a major dilemma in my life and here's an example ........................

I walked into the toilet at work and the light switched on automatically, FAB, all is going to someone's grand environmental design. Of course I'm happy as I don't have to touch the light switch, a haven for any number of germs. Into the toilet I go and after a minute or less off goes the movement sensitive light. There am I, a lady sat shrouded in complete darkness; oh what a kerfuffle, I decided to open the door and lean out as far as I could and wave my arms frantically to activate the sensor. This worked! Yippee!! But in doing so my blouse was caught on the door handle and all the buttons ripped off. I was left with the splendour of teaching Year 10 whilst cobbled together with safety pins.

That there Kyoto Protocol has got much to answer for.

Signs and exams


May 29th. Last night I, Lyns, returned from France. Firstly, I am disappointed that the first class 'VIP' lounge on NorfolkLine is nolonger my private domain! Ah no; I loved the solitude, the luxury gained from a few people sharing a limited space.

BUT now - good Lord, there are several, nay, tens of people gaining entry. This seems to co-incide with extra Kudos / status visually added to passengers waiting to board via a VIP queue. So, instead of rather suruptiously boarding with my discreet VIP pass, I now have to wait in a large queue of people waiting for 'favourable boarding'. I don't need to gain prestinge via my placement on a budget ferry !!!!! So, maybe I will just save up and go via the tunnel or even fly from now on!

Ahhh!

This story has been brought to you via Lyndsey, 44, female, in love with Michael.


Lignieres


Bonjour,
Half term holiday in Lignieres, 18160, France:
It is worth the 6 and a half hour trip [that is - if the traffic around Paris behaves!!] across France. I left Flitwick in Bedfordshire avec Famille on Friday 22nd May at 7pm. About half an hour after original arranged departure time!

We decided on this occassion to use Eurotunnel enroute, as Mike was only going for a long weekend. Eurotunnel was quick. No other adjective can be found to describe it: Quick.
When I finally go to meet my maker I hope they find many adjectives to define me; not just 'quick'. Imagine: 'Lyndsey was rather speedy', 'Lyndsey never arrived late', 'On time! Was Lyndsey's byword.' Well, I guess I can appreciate the Eurotunnel functioning reliably on one level: Quickness. Thank you.

Mike returned Monday p.m. after a long weekend of scrapping wall paper and painting. I, Lyndsey, continued with general painting for another two days! Oh bother. At least some socialising took place. I managed to see M & G; G and had a fabulous raclette. My Mum & Dad, hereafter to be known as Mum and Dad, or Tony and Bard, have given a raclette machine to The Mike and Lyndsey cause. We henceforth intend to inspire all of our friends dans Angleterre into the ways of French cuisine via la raclette. Okay, a big stumbling block is cooking cheese avec viande, mais, it is not necessary, potatoes really do make a good meat alternative and - what about salmon or sword fish? Cool alternatives to meat babie.

Summary of Half Term May 2009 Lignieres: Mike, raclette; Lyns saw French friends Soph and Bruno; Lyns decorated their house at 'La maison rouge'. Lyns had lunch with M & G - who are amazing!
