As there are no ferries from the English South Coast to Northern Spain in January, we'll be driving through France.
We should be around Paris on the evening of the 16th. Who's available for dinner? Can someone put us up? afew?
We should drive to southern France on the 17th... again, any offers to put us up for the night?
We'll probably have a chance to stop in Barcelona and see kcurie on the 18th. Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith
I'd have gone, but the social security don't like you buggering off to spain when you're receving benefits.
ps afew is near Toulouse, not Paris keep to the Fen Causeway
It's for a temporary job of just two weeks paying minimum wage so they don't really want anything special. however she admitted she's had a lot of interest (there's a lot of need out there) and I will be informed monday or tuesday if I've got the job. If I don't get it I won't mind cos it's such a short contract. keep to the Fen Causeway
the acting wooden, the characters stereotypes, the lead actress appears physically incapable of acting, (or even changing her expression) there might be some eyecandy for the ladies in Mr Jackman with his top off. but far too many lingering shots of single tears running down the faces of characters in substitute for any meat to the story.
There are some stunning landscape shots, but rip them out please and put them into a 2 minute Australian tourist board advert.
the second half of the film hangs together better as a story, but is rather let down by yet more bad acting and a poorselection of unrealistic looking special effects. (and after the first half you dont really care about the characters). Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
Kidman was at her best in Eyes Wide Shut, though that was a case of typecasting.
As one resident said: "This is not Marseille" - skiing by the port ! :-)
Even in Nice there's light snow on the hills:
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
But there's a thaw forecast for next week.
Sounds like you're heading south then across at Perpignan-Barcelona, which is probably good. The passes in the Basque country and Navarra have been closed the last couple of days. And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
Is taking the Lyon route to Perpignan better than going south through the Massif Central to Toulouse and then Perpignan?
Crossing the Pyrinees from Toulouse into Aragó to Zaragoza would indeed be suicidal this time of year. Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith
The Manuscript Found in Saragossa. "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
Spending millions on preventing two days of snow every ten years is waste, but appearing on the TV too important... Un roi sans divertissement est un homme plein de misères
In any case, don't expect me to take you to a néfaste-food joint... "Dieu se rit des hommes qui se plaignent des conséquences alors qu'ils en chérissent les causes" Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet
How would that work for an ET early dinner on Friday evening? Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith
