Comments on: Un pneu creve http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/un-pneu-creve/ Welcome to the home of Beta Mum - who lacks the lifestyle and perfectionist tendencies of Alpha Mummy, but rubs along pretty well most of the time Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:10:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: joe http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/un-pneu-creve/#comment-705 joe Tue, 31 Jul 2007 06:32:40 +0000 http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/un-pneu-creve/#comment-705 Nice blog! We can never tell when car trouble can happen. It may happen anytime at any place. I for one experienced it. The most recent car trouble - was when my <a href="http://www.lxpartsconnection.com/lexusradiator.html" title="lexus radiator" rel="nofollow">lexus radiator</a> overheats and my car won't start. It happened on my way on a important meeting with a client. I ended up paying expensive repair plus had to take the cab to our meeting place. *sighs* It was really a bad day for me. Nice blog!

What an experience, being able to just wander over to France for a holiday! And let's face it, you don't really experience a culture unless you immerse yourself in it... by having to get things fixed. Keep the anecdotes coming! Ah, I just love it when you parlez Francais.

Rest assured, it's not you, it's having a car in France. Wasn't it a beautiful day today? We watched the sun sink into the sea in Houlgate, hope you had a gorgeous day in spite of the car.

Attempt to ask questions between 12.00 and 2.00 pm and you obviously get 'Computer dit 'non''. I get the impression that as a family you're not terribly car friendly. But I admire the way you're able to laugh about it (even in retrospect). No, no - it wasn’t his lunch break, but the computer’s obviously.

Did you ever play the game Mille Bournes? That taught me a lot of useful French breakdown vocab.
