Well, my friend CC has launched off into the wild French countryside with his posh van, whilst I sit here contemplating all sorts of problems.

I think this is most inconsiderate.

I am going to use all my connections and have Interpol pull him in for using too many resistors in an LED light, or something like that. Once he has diagnosed and solved all my problems, I may allow him to be released, albeit with a tagging device to make sure he doesn't have too much fun.

Seriously - this is what retirement is all about.. the ability to do what you want, when you want. Go to France ? Why the hell not.

Mignon is progressing.. photos and stories when I return from my involuntary exile in the Caribbean :>>
