Still he looked pretty peaceful recovering in the sunshine.<br />The biggest problem is checking him to make sure that none of his injuries develop abcesses. That happened to Rose a few months back. Involved an expensive vet trip.<br />A couple of weeks ago we had a big brush tail possum come right up to our back door and attack the Rose cat, so she's not the happiest either.

So the FN can play a decisive role, even if Le Pen doesn't get elected. That's the point: she might eliminate Sarkozy, or one of the socialist candidates in the first round.ckbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667570157826940501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-28062591437043393722011-03-08T18:19:00.463+01:002011-03-08T18:19:00.463+01:00You guys should know by now that the Front Nationa...You guys should know by now that the Front National always does extremely well in the months leading up to the elections, and then doesn't even come close to winning.

I'm no fan of Sarko, but a le Pen would be epouvantable IMO.<br /><br />Apparently the ECB is planning to hike rates 0.25%, per Trichet's last speech. That should up the euro a bit, because the Fed certainly can't raise rates.<br /><br />Those gas prices are shocking!

In October I paid 46p per litre and last week it was 65p which is an enormous % increase. I'm hoping we have enough fioul oil in France to see us through this current spike. <br /><br />What are they like in the US?GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-44310044300363622112011-03-08T08:26:43.326+01:002011-03-08T08:26:43.326+01:00I'm going to try and make my half a tank of ga...I'm going to try and make my half a tank of gas last as long as possible!deedeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278468497564430383noreply@blogger.com
