Heavens...

So much has happened in  the last couple of weeks that it is going to be hard to explain it all. So let me start by saying I am alive, I am happy, I have a landline telephone again and will have the Internet connected again as soon as I receive my Alice Box from Tiscali Italy. Why Tiscali Italy? Because they offer wireless connection, 24/7 unlimited ADSL, satellite TV and all fixed-line French phone calls are included for 29.95€ a month. Plus you get two free months. Works for me!

The children are doing very well in school and have started spouting phrases at me in Breton, which I haven't the foggiest of notions what they mean. I counter with saying something profound like, 'Coffee with milk and no sugar' in Polish or 'Thank you very much you are welcome' in Japanese or 'Louis and the grapes of happiness' in Spanish... which shuts them up. This will work until they figure out Mum is blagging her foreign languages...

Today I get my Decree Nisi. 6 weeks and 1 day from now, I can request my Decree Absolute. This is now forcing my sluggish very-soon-to-be-ex to get the house valued, finally... since all finances have to be sorted before the decree can be issued and more importantly, before the Solicitors representing him receive their money...

One more step towards my new life I am creating here in France.
