It is difficult to combine the two, but you are doing very well, Rosietat. It is great to have advice from someone who is successful at it as there are quite a few members who have the same problems. And I agree with you, the deer are lovely.Ìý
ÌýWell, we must say it is an imaginative way to pay for their subscription; however, I found it useful and worth the expense. Parking downtown for nearly 6 hours would have costed us the same.
ÌýBesides the energy and sound proofing ones do they intend to introduce other compulsory reports and disclosures for the sale of property? In France they also request inspections for termites and xylophagous insects and the presence of lead, asbestos and other dangerous products.I also find the cost of the report very high if we compare it with what we had to pay in France when we sold our property there, and it was a very comprehensive one.
ÌýYes, you can get them free of charge if you are prepared to spend a whole morning at the Agenzia del Territorio in your capital city. We tried to do it that way and it was an absolute waste of time. The amount they charge is very small, I think that it was around 10 euros and you get your copy at home via the Internet within a few minutes.Ìý
ÌýNot completely wrong Anne. I have dual nationality.
ÌýThank you, Andrew
ÌýPerhaps you are after this postcard?
Good news, Yvonne! This winter has been so wet that if has helped to develop this kind of infestations. Fortunately, and as you experienced, it is easy to get rid of them without harming the tree.

Anne, I think that this was more of a case of genetic idiocy on the side of Mademoiselle....or she did not like the guy.... There is a very well known expression in French to go out and have an informal bite to eat, which is "casser une croûte" (literally, to brake a crust of bread) and nobody (well, almost) nobody is offended by that.I agree with you, though, Ìýthat there are cultural differences, not only between countries but also between regions, but any person with a bit of good manners and education will make allowances for a foreigner.Mademoiselle had neither of those attributes and the English guy is better off without her. Actually, she did him a serviceÌý
Don't worry, it is not offensive; however, in view of the importance that ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs attach to body language in communications, it would be good to have a look at the site I gave you as it helps to understand many non-spoken messages.Ìý
