If you live in the US you can get free tickets by filling in a brief survey. Yes, free tickets to see Red Hot Chili Peppers. This won’t be up for long so don’t hesitate.

On Golden Pond
I always wanted to see this film, but never got round to it. When MIL came she bought some free CDs from 'The Mail on Sunday' magazine and 'On Golden Pond' was amongst them. I sat and watched it on Saturday afternoon, well worth the 25 years wait. I love Katharine Hepburn, had she been British, I'm sure the queen would have made her a Dame.
Looking him up, I discovered that it was Doug McKeon's 40th birthday the other day. Doesn't time fly!

Stats
I really enjoy checking out the stats for this blog, not just for the numbers so much, but for why people visit. This morning I see that my blog was translated into Chinese! Someone else came looking for 'naked woman in a superwoman outfit'. Not very logical and I wonder how I managed to come 9th out of 18600?

Spare a thought for the toilet cleaner
This weekend is our village Brocante/bootsale/garagesale. When I was a member of the school association I used to help out with the food over the weekend. This year Olivier and his friend have taken on the job of maintaining the toilets. Monsieur Pi Pi, as we say in French. I do hope that the good visitors to our village appreciate how fussy my son is. They have to keep the two toilets and wash basin clean and in exchange they charge a 20centimes entrance fee, which they can keep. I met Olivier on his way out early this morning, I was surprised that he was in such a good mood. He was very proud of the fact that they had been complimented on the cleanliness of the toilets. However, there had been one or two who refused to pay the entrance fee as it is a public toilet. They collected around 500 x 20centimes, can you imagine the state of the toilets if they hadn’t been maintained? It will be busier today, I hope it isn’t too hot for them.
We went and looked around for three hours yesterday morning. Rob found some great postcards and I bought 5 novels by Virginia Woolf for €5 (£3 or $6.25 approx). It was hot. Rob overheard someone urging her friend to go to the toilets as they are so clean!

She's still alive
Dom didn’t fall into a ditch or get abducted by aliens. Her exams that day went really well. She told me that, had she been late, she would have been disqualified and have to wait another year to retake her exams. Today is her last day; 4 hours of biology this morning (pray for genetics) and two hours of German this afternoon. She showed me the English paper, a very interesting text about a Jamaican teacher trying to get work in England The opening sentences were in bad English as the poor woman was confused and nervous, I bet that put a few people into a tizzy.
This evening Dom and friends are going out to celebrate freedom.
