Friday 9 April - Beaucracy damn it

You have met nothing until you meet a pissy, jobsworth, French sous prefecture who is determined to piss you off at every opportunity. Mike is trying to change to a French driving licence and it is proving difficult due to the fact that the pissy person(pp) is demanding an invoice dated September in his name (which she does not actually have the need for) and we do not have one as we pay by DD at the bank for our supplied services. So today I went to the Mayors office and have now got an Attestation of Domecile let the pp deny him now damn it.

When we go in on Monday it will be the third attempt - I went to the nearest bench on Tuesday after she talked to me like dog shit and blubbed - latent anger I wanted to jump up and punch her in her horrible face.

Anyway the simple fact is that I got into the workroom yesterday, put the wood burning stove on and did some sewing yeh. We are now on the road to recovery craftwise at last.

Anyway will report next week - plants growing well in the greenhouse, sun shining and so on.
