Home alone

Up horribly early this morning to drive Lowri to Carcassonne airport. She's off to Cornwall to play in the Open Chamber Music course in Prussia Cove. Fortunately, the UK hand baggage restrictions have been relaxed as from yesterday, so she was able to take her cello on board with her. It couldn't have gone in the hold and this would have been a problem.

So I have ten days sole charge of the children. They were very polite about Dad's special sausage stew this evening, but did venture to suggest that I had overdone the spices. Will I never learn?

France is the land of unexplained acronyms.

ACPE
URSSAF
GUSO
ASSEDIC
SIRET
CSG
CRDS
TPE
MSA

Social security leaflets are difficult enough to read anyway, without having to guess at what this lot means.
