I would just like to say

[Stanleysteamer]

Google translate will be busy

Considering I taught French for 34 years, as I thought I mentioned when you asked me what I taught, I will not be bothering Google translate at all!

Whata poop!
Any mileage in getting valuables, radio stuff etc into the loft?
Crossed fingers it doesn't get into your place.

We would have but thankfully we are just a bit above the other properties. The other people were not so lucky. The damage around the village is huge. There will be a lot of claims going in I think.

My mum and sister were cut off, all roads leading to theirs was very flooded.

Better after correction!
There are few fixed rules about gender and some are slightly complex, as a VERY general rule an e on the end does indicate likelihood of it's being feminine. But any word with a final e that comes from a verb, e.g. "Garage" which comes from the verb "garer" "to park. " will be masculine. Words ending in -tion or -sion are feminine,
I could bore you further, but I am boring myself. TBH rmemebering genders is a pain and even the frogs get em wrong, better to learn the word together with an adjective so the sound tells you which it is. e.g. "chemin vert" but "route verte", both of which have similar meanings, but the vert/e tells you which is M and which is F.

I get the feeling you would quietly like to be able to speak it more fluently.
Don't blame you, that was the only reason I went for a Psych degee with French as a subsid.
Hence why I could then make French my major.

Remember it all too well.

I've heard that they control it betterer though. But I might have heard it wrong.
I sometimes do!!

I have heard the same. They trap water and seem to know how much of a flow to let through, to keep the river level good at all stages. That means extra land stays wet up stream. But not sure that would solve the problem of sudden bursts of heavy rain as it would just push through.

But, but, but..... there's no such thing as a good Freelander, all their doors keep falling off.

Thas wot the tratterers said for many years so freelander prices would drop so they could buy them cheap.

Lr classic have just started selling tratter rain covers to stop their doors falling oft.

Home made minestrone poop

Funny how when ****ed and you throw up its always got carrots in it even if you haven't eaten any just another mystery

Our village is under water! The main road is blocked as the stream has burst its banks. The Mrs is out taking coffee to the troops.
We are slightly higher than the neighbours but if the rain doesn't stop, we will be joining the throng of insurance claims

Oh no good luck thear

I'd love to speak it more yes also with my Gaelic and German. I was good with languages when I was younger.

Cheese board for dinner, over indulged again.

I had a Cornish pasty, packet of krisps and a bar of chock for brunch. And this evening I knocked up a chorizo pasta with pesto. Hardest part was boiling the water. I HATE cooking - anything. Not my thing at all.
