So THAT’s how France works!
So I mentioned in another post that I was dreading moving my broadband account with France Telecom. Perhaps I’m just more used to how France works these days, or perhaps the company has got much better, but either way I’ve got internet in my new place, and it was easy.

Moving in. Finally
It’s been a slog, but I finally moved into the new chalet last night. I thought it was going to be when the internet worked that I would feel I’d moved, but it turns out it was installing the cat that finally made it happen. There’s still a few more runs up and down the [...]
An extra day in my favor
A few days ago I woke up convinced it was Saturday. I’d gone to bed the night before thinking it was Friday night and that the week hadn’t gone too badly. So I was pretty amazed that Radio 4, my computer’scalendar and even my iPhone told me it was, in fact, still Friday. I’d got [...]
Best-Of-Vimeo
Well, seeing as I’ve been launching a zillion sites and upgrading a zillion more recently (it HAS all been work, work work, you know), I quickly created and launched another one today. Best-Of-Vimeo.com.

The last time we skied
It’s different at the start of the winter. Colder, more rainy & in some ways, much more fun. But you have to remeber when you last skied. For me it was back in May 2008. The Grande Montets end of season party. Fancy Dress on ice.

I’ll be skiing in a month
It’s been snowing a lot here in the past few days. Snowing properly too, creating a very defined snowline at an altitude which is slowly creeping down. My new place in Le Tour is above the current snowline. There’s 2 inches of snow covering the garden, with a fair amount more forecast for later today [...]
The art of moving
I’m slowly moving into the new place in Le Tour. I’ve had time to think about it and tried to work out what exactly it is about moving house that makes it such a pain in the arse. I was an Air Force kid, so moving house is something I’ve had a lot of experience [...]
Remembrance Sunday
Last year I was in London for Remembrance Sunday & actually went to the cenotaph to be a part of the crown and experience the ceremony. It’s something I’ve always felt strongly about since I was in the Boys Brigade when I lived in the Shetland Islands as a child. Mine is the only car [...]
