MORE DOG PICTURES

Still growing and now on the changeover to adult food.

We have had to get a second basket as sleeping in the one bed is causing arguements.

Of course the female got the new bed!

DARTS VICTORY

Wednesday night saw the pub team travel to Dinan for a Brittany Cup round 3 match. A hard earnt victory sees us through to the last 13..(I know, it's too complicated to explain)

If we get one of the three byes in the next round we are guaranteed a cash prize.

PUB SPORT NEWS

After the seasonal break, the pool league resumed on Friday with a home match....Or rather it didn't. The oposition phoned 15 minutes after the start time to say they couldn't make it due to illness.

After 3 darts defeats on the run, we beat Taverners last Thursday and they were top of the league.

Thursday we go to Dinan in the 3rd round of the cup.

Al is hoping to play better after a dip in form.

Saying that, an 8 dart 301 two games ago was quite good!

RENNES BROCATE (Market)

Last week after finishing the house clearance, it was decided to take some stuff up to Rennes flea market and sell it, along with some excess stuff from home.

Andy and Al got on the road at 5-30am to set up for the 8am start. The driving conditions were treacherous with driving winds and rain.

The cost of the pitch at the market was 27euros.

Some of the stalls were really impressive selling 5000 euro wooden antiques or 3000 euro bronze statues. All in all tho everyone was friendly and the 10 hours that the market went on for seemed to pass quickly.

As I said most sold pretty impressive stuff.

Ah well ..yes!

Total value of stuff sold 60 euros.

Never mind Rodders...This time next year we will be millionaires!

A BIT WET

The storms in France have been all over the news these past few days. Winds of 90mph and torrential rain.

The stream at the end of the lane has found it difficult to cope and has almost turned into a river.

Puppies love running around trees.

2 puppies running round tree after flood = mud bath.

Bella survey's the damage!

CHINESE DINNER PARTY

Wednesday we were up at John and Chrisies for a chinese meal. A fantastic night and John did us proud with a fantastic meal

NEW JOB.

The credit crunch bites a bit. We have lost about 35% of our income in the past year. Only one thing for it and that is to get a job for a while.

Thanks to a contact Al and his English mate Andy have a job doing house clearances.

This week we have worked in Broons clearing out a 5 bedroomed farmhouse that had been used for schoolchildrens studies. The house is run by the local authority.

It's now on sale for about £25,000.

Good news is that the local authority have taken us on for 2 months work clearing out a 40 bedroom hospital in Rennes starting in February. Hotel and food for the week included.

There were a few outbuildings to clear also

We salvaged the metal and earnt a bit on that too.

Steptoe and Son are in buisness!
