The Rock
We watched the Rock yesterday evening, I actually stayed awake. Can someone explain how a man who has been exposed to a deadly nerve gas, who stabs himself so he won't die an agonizing death, falls into the sea and emerges looking fitter than he did at the start of the film? The ending spoiled the whole film, it was so unrealistic. It's a good job Sean Connery was there!

Christian telephoned
yesterday afternoon. He wanted to know if his tetanus vaccination was up to date. He'd been bitten by a dog while visiting friends. Fortunately the hostess is a nurse, so he was patched up okay. He went to the emergency department for a tetanus shot so all's well that ends well.

Remember, remember the fifth of November
In England the 5th November is bonfire night, the night of fireworks and barbecues. The celebrations usually spread over to the weekends before and after. Some people go over the top, see what happened to Gert. It must have been terrifying. I picked up the story from Peter.

Olivier and Dominique
went out to buy a new game for the computer, now that we have the room to install it. They decided to get 'gtaIII'. That was okay as we had talked it through and I had given my permission. We were going to get it for Christmas. There is a little ticket on the game which says it is not suitable for under 16's. The shop where they bought it had put the price ticket over the warning. They got through the checkout with it, no problem. This shop is already in a lot of people's bad books, (excuse the pun) because if you want to order a book (required for school for example) you have to order 30 copies. We're lucky here, classes are normally below thirty, so the chance of getting 30 orders together is pretty remote. Fortunately there are two very good private shops in town who are only too happy to order one humble book. And they don't sell yeukky computer games!

Saturday morning
Start of a cold weekend by the looks of it. At midday I'm meeting Dom so that we can collect her new glasses. We get the second pair for 1 euro/$ (I won't say how much the first pair are costing). For the first time since she was eighteen months old she doesn't have to wear glasses all the time. Her vision in both eyes is very good, she just sees very very small. Odd, isn't it?
I'd like to do some gardening this afternoon, so much to cut back and tidy up for the winter. This week the leaves have really changed colour. We really are having a beautiful autumn. Unfortunately it's pretty windy, so it won't last long

Menopausal Hens
Olivier keeps talking about the remains of a menopausal hen. Where does he get it from? Do hens go through menopause? Nothing on Google.... yet.
He's also into "Bring out the mutton" and "Where's the mutton?". I think he's keeping some very stange company at the moment. Bring back Homer Simpson!
