Hi Enid What a lovely note.
I hope you reproduce it somewhere in your customer comments or similar.
Weve all had bad days when people really irritate us, but isnt it strange that the slightest bit of consideration or appreciateness[not sure thats a word but it is now]
Lifts our spirits.
Have a lovely birthday , are you doing anything special
[dont mention laundry itll still be there tomorrow unfortunately]
As Im getting older[violins] Im learning to relish the good times & forget the hassle[well allright, nearly]
This is one of the good times, so relish it!!!

Just writing this before going to the theatre - we have an amazing theatre in a small village near us that has very professional shows with artists shipped down from Paris. Tonight it is 'les Idoles' a musical so K and I will be singing along to hits from the 50s and 60s then a meal and a cabaret. 9 of us - all French except us - I don't know if after this I'll ever be recovered enough to iron again!!!!!

It's 2.24 a.m. and just winding down from our evening - it was FANTASTIC - a musical, a meal and a cabaret all for 44 euros a head and what a professional show. The singing , dancing and sketches were great - and they sang happy birthday to me ! My Mum and Dad were wonderful people and I had a great childhood but they never did anything very special for birthdays and so I feel I am having all my childhood birthdays now and I love it. Then waiting was yet another e mail from guests from last year wanting to book for 2007 - what a lovely day. Back to reality tomorrow ( whoops that's today)
Many happy (belated) returns Enid!!!
Sounds like you had a wonderful time! And wasn't that lovely note the icing on the cake?
I'm a virgo too! And my husband has just told me he's taking me on a 3 day break to a wonderful 5*hotel for my birthday next week (6th Sept). I can't wait...its our first holiday in 4 years (too busy working hard and saving to buy the house).

yes six! 2 flights upto the bedrooms, then 2 flights upto the roof terrace.......and another 2 flight connecting the apartment to the villa! Not as grand as it sounds though...just a combination of high ceilings and stairs having to wind around a turret.Mouse
SIX count them, 6 are you serious
Oh .... if only!!!! Though it is a good way to lose weight and exercise!You must be as thin as a rake & have thighs to die for

Funny isn't it? Around here in the countryside it is unheard of for a man to drive to any evening events, their wives' do all the chauffering around. I feel very awkward drinking anymore than an aperitif and a couple of small glasses of wine in the company of my French female friends, whereas the men have pastis, numerous bottles of red and often finish with eau de vie. We went out last week to an event in the village with friends and I ended up leaving early at 1am, my OH staggered back at 5am. Very chauvanistic compared to the UK!Apparently so - was out with French people so didn't have too much to drink - less but better quality wine !!!
