    Hope I am not interupting anything? DS and SDW - I think the rise in your income has made you lightheaded. Seriously it is good news at last. Papers today are all quietly predicting an upturn all round.

    Beautiful day again in luxi. Sunny all day and 22c in the shade. We had lunch outside and I had to open the parasols as eating in the sun was too hot. Mowed the lawn, weeded and trimmed our conifer hedge before lunch. Hot work but only water drank as taking it easy after the "all inclusive" holiday at the beginning of the month.
    Sadly our daughter failed her theory driving test, due to over confidence which may result in more work being put in to it. Here in Luxembourg you have to have 12 hours of theory lessons in a classroom environment and then pass the test before you are allowed to sit in a car in anger. She now has to have 6 more hours of teaching and can then re-apply for the theory test. She is not a happy bunny!!! Her mother and I are quite relaxed about it as we are ambivalent about her driving a car

    Is there some conspiracy to keep me the wrong side of the channel?
