Having studied Nolic's link closely - I think that's known as a "sidestep".

Is the Scrum not " Crouch Touch Pause Engage " This is to try to prevent injury

All Chinese to me. I'm glad so many of you enjoy your rugby but others might be reassured to know that at least one other member was born without the ball gene. I suspect my feminine side may be too strong!

Jamie, I stand corrected. For some reason the original phrase from the ELV's came to mind. Nolic

I shall get on with my knitting....

We went to a vide grenier ( car boot 0 this morning. It was mainly childrens clothes and games but we managed to get a fish kettle for 12euros and I bought a book in french on french embroidery stitches. Being Sunday we are now off out to lunch. After that I think a rest will be needed before i go and start preparing my veggie plot for seeds.

Hello Sue

What part of Brittany are you. We are in Southern Brittany at Le Pouldu on the Atlantic coast or we will be by the 2nd April.

Eileen

We are near La Gacilly, about 1 hour north of Vannes and about 30 minutes from Rennes Eileen

I will google that and have a look.

Eileen

The actual place is La Vallee, La Chapelle Gacelin. But it is only a farm hamlet of4 houses and probably won't come up. It can be found on Google earth

We have a mobile home on the site Camping du Quinquis in Le Pouldu. We stay until the end of June and then rent it out for the school holidays. Returning at the beginning of September until end of October or before if the weather doesn't hold. My cousin has a farm complex in Normandy at Ambrieres Les Valles he lives there from around February until end of October then comes back to the UK

Can't wait to get back it's very relaxing out there different way of life.

Eileen

You lucky people.

I agree Moh but I doubt if it is all luck! Barlick is very nice and can be found on any map.......

Brittany is really pretty and most of the time the climate is better than England but I wouldn't want to live there full time as my home is England. Today however I will mainly be preparing for our extended holiday. Dave goes mad at me as there are certain foods I can buy in England and not in Brittany unless I pay well over the odds for them, so I take them with me and he says by doing so I overload the car. Last year I took 10lb steak as the meat in Brittany is Bovine (some old milk cow) but as we are trying to cut down on the old red meat (my only sacrifice to cholesterol) that will be less weight this time.

Today I am mainly feeling relieved that I have at last, thanks to my hairdresser in Colne, discovered the identity of the driver of the Corvette with the "Voodoo" registration.
Don't know his name, but he has recently taken over the music shop in Colne from "Uncle Neil". It has now gone back to being "LouAndy's" again. He also has the music shop in Skipton.
It all becomes clear

Wendy, pm in relation to the above on its way to you. Nolic

Had a quick look round Pendle Today, and found this headline...

"WRECKLESS pet owners have been blamed for a 13% increase in hospital dog bite cases over the last five years".

Are you watching Callunna - they need a new proof reader.

We were up at the Dog in Barlick the week before last, Malcolm's band (Spirit of the Experience) was playing. A good night was had by all with Malcolm's extremely good renditions of late 60's stuff, Smallfaces, Cream, Hendrix, Rory Gallagher etc.. A very accomplished guy on the guitar, been in quite a few local bands.

Eileen, the evidence from my blood test as far as I am concerned is that cholesterol levels in blood depend less on egg and red meat intake and more on genes and how much exercise you take.
Today I shall be in the Shed!

Thanks for that Stanley I agree with you, I can't change my genes so am going to do more walking. Wonder what the average would be if they took out all those who are not indiginous to our shores. Everyone is unique in there own way.

Today I am going for a walk then some gardening.

Eileen

Today I shall be mainly in Colne library, working on Doreen Crowther's Colne Deeds index and doing a bit of research for Eileen too. Back in the garden this afternoon, though I am taking it easy 'cos my hip bursitis flared up after helping hubby shift 6 tons of topsoil at the weekend.

Today I shall be putting items on ebay - hubby is clearing the garage out!!!!! Motor bike; motor bike boots; tyres; mountain bike and combi caravan awning.

This morning preparing my presentation for my assessed micro-teach on Friday , the final part of my new teaching qualification for adults. If I pass then its just a matter of submitting all my assignments and fingers crossed.

I'm looking forward to visiting a children's home this afternoon and meeting the three young lads who live there all of whom have severe learning disabilities. Good home and all being well the lads will have had a good day at school. Nolic

And there was I that virtually gave away the combi camper awning, generous sole that I am. ( Alternatively I sold it for its true value which bought me enough petrol to go 56 miles )

Wendy, the lesson is stop shovelling! What's the point of having a dog and barking yourself! (Apologies to Himindoors...)
