Jajah

Well, that was an interesting evening. Italy won the World Cup on penalties, France's Zidane got himself sent off after a moment of sheer madness and William failed in his quest for political greatness. Bum, there goes my Legion d'Honeur. However, what was very flattering was that William and his partner Christine (despite the names both are French) came round to drown their sorrows, get some peace and quiet, and watch the match. Jan, the angel that she is, knocked up an impromptu meal and we ate til late in the cool night air.

The sun re-emerged this morning to continue cooking everything in sight. There is a however quite a strong wind which is thankfully keeping the temperature down a bit. Phew!

For some time now I have had difficulty getting the Skype software to work on my PC. It used to work, but after a reformat of my C drive it has steadfastly refused. So I was pleased to hear at the weekend that a service called Jajah was just as cheap and appeared to work well. I have signed up and, so far, it does what it says on the tin. You can make either free or very cheap phone calls all over the world.

Minnie is now in to her second week of chaleur and this week is the critical week in terms of getting pregnant. Thank goodness we built the chenile. At least we have somewhere cool and safe to keep them when we need to keep them apart. Poor old Max and Min, they are so used to playing together and they must now be confused as to our recent behaviour. Ah well, only another 2 weeks to go.
