Thursday August 11

This morning we all got up and packed to go to Clermont Ferrand where my friends are living. We had a bite to eat, and then helped Didier fit a desk into his car, and we headed to their apartment in separate cars.  Anne and I stopped by the supermarket and did some shopping for her oldest son Mateo who is moving away from home, in with some friends, today.  I bought some soap for my trip to Bordeaux and San Sebastian, as most of the airbnb's I've stayed in over here do not provide it. 

We got to their apartment and Didier was there.  Mateo and his friends had moved most of the stuff to his new place, but there were still a few things to go.  We loaded up both cars and drove over to the new apartment.  The father of one roommate was helping the kids take stuff way up many stairs, so fortunately Anne and I took off and took a little walk around the neighborhood, stopping at a little café for a beer.  It was pretty hot today.  We came back to Mateo's new place and found our way into the building and up to their apartment.  There were about 16 kids and parents there and they were celebrating their move with champagne and potato chips. 

Eventually we went back to the apartment and had apero of wine and cheese I think. Both their boys came by to get some stuff and hung out for a moment.  Then they took off to go to Mateo's apartment and help get him set up, and help the roommates get settled.  They won't have electricity until Tuesday so they will be using candles tonite.

We hung around the house for a couple of hours, checking social media, we both might have taken a nap, I'm really not sure.  Then it was time for dinner, and we left the apartment and walked a few blocks to a hamburger place where the boys were already waiting.  I had a volcano burger with chorizo and cheese and fried potatoes with cheese sauce and a beer.  After we ate, we all went back to the apartment and Mateo pointed out little graffiti things he had left with a new pen at 3am with one of his friends, including my favorite 3 canards with pictures of 3 ducks.

The boys came in for a few minutes, then went home.  Didier and Anne watched them leave out the window.  Big change for the entire family today.  I think the three of us went to bed pretty early tonite.  That is the problem with trying to go back in time since I didn't take notes. LOL.

We saw no vital difference between half in} Red Dog’s games on mobile or desktop. The graphics and recreation controls are excellent, the only difference being your mobile device’s display screen size. Sadly, there are no sports activities betting options out there here, which is a 코인카지노 slight downside. We had been very glad to find out|to search out} that these bonuses are quite easy to entry. You’re required to deposit a minimum of $20 to qualify for them, which is very inexpensive. Also, each bonus has a 25x rollover requirement which is very low and honest.

Late for lunch Rev 1

I was running late for my workshop and decided to try pulling in the QUALCOMM driveway because the building where the meeting is held shared the parking lot; at least I think it does. I sometimes shoot right past the left turn, even with the signal, because I miss the sign and don’t know the name of the street. As I reach the crest of the hill I knew that the strategy had worked. I stepped out of the van at 11:58 and ran across the lot towards the entrance. Our vans always smell funny. It must be something EVS uses to try to clean the upholstery or carpet. It’s like all the drivers have been working at Jiffy Lube and forgot to wash their hands. I asked the ladies at reception where to go this month and I see the group admin coming out to close the door at the end of a hallway. She sees me coming and hands me a name tag with a smile, as we both go into the room. They are just getting started with the program and everyone already has their lunch. In the past, when the meetings hav

Monument Sign Rev 1

I’d been waiting for the monument sign for six weeks. The company had broken the mold and had to order a new one from the factory. Urger Shack, people drove by and laughed and no one stopped in. What the hell is an Urger ? They’d yell as he sat on the bench outside the front door, always leaving the AC on since it was the middle of summer and the food in the kitchen would spoil fast. For six weeks he’d sat on this bench, trying to figure out how to use “urger to his advantage, maybe start a trend, even a cult would work if it got people to stop at the care, even for a coke. Urger Shack, Urger shack. Wait? That ‘s it. If we’re going be silly let’s go for it. Urger Hack, get rid of the S and pretend it was cool. Urger Hack, Urger Hack, or Hurger Sack, no that made no sense at all. It was getting later, around 3 or so in the afternoon when the bus stopped. A bus, 37 screaming kids in a school bus from Salinas. Hey buddy the driver yelled, got any ice cream to shut these punks

Tuesday August 9

Waking up this morning in our Chateau near Salbris, as usual I was the first one downstairs because my friends like to sleep in.  I am still getting used to staying up past 9pm when I am with friends and have not ben successful at sleeping past 9:00am except for one day.  That one day, I was really awake but just laid in bed. So I tidied up my bedroom, and took my luggage downstairs since the bathrooms were downstairs anyway and the  stairs were so steep there was no reason to take anything but the adaptor up there, and maybe my phone.  With my friends we all spent many hours on facebook, and Didier is very good at doing research on the Internet. I took my shower and got dressed after loading up the coffee machine and turning it on so it would be ready when I was dressed.  I think this morning I worked on my blog, but maybe not since we were leaving pretty early for Chateau Chambord.  Yesterday after we arrived here, and got the tour from the father of our host, Didier and Anne too
