Noah and his Busted Turbo

Well, it's official, it's rained for a whole week and we have nearly floated away. We even heard the flood warning earlier today; [Tony typing now - because he is really bored with Jane typing so slowly and inacurately]. In all honesty it has only rained once this week - it started at the beginning of the week and hasn't stopped yet. We looked at three houses this week - two wern't great, and the third had been sold before we had seen it. The wagon is still fu*&£d. The turbo has had it - probably the Pyranees that shagged it. Fiat is a fantastic supplier. They have helped us our not end. They promised faithfully that the new turbo will be delivered within a few days. What they didn't say was that it would be delivered within a few days of Armageddon. Oh deep joy. If you fancy buying a Fiat - don't! I found myself needing to beg a nappy from a neighbour the other night. My French is now so good I offered to trade a baby for a pig instead of a nappy for a bottle of wine. Tony, Sian and Jaden have arrived this week - they brought the English weather with them. On the bright side, it has only rained once since they arrived, and we are sure it will stop soon. Perhaps tomorrow after they leave.

I must say, you are sounding rather annoyed and fed up. I hope you had a good time with your visitors and that the ark won't be needed and the wagon is fixed soon.

Sorry to hear the house hunting was unsuccessful this time. Keep looking on the bright side and enjoy your ventures.

How is Kirsty getting on with her swimming?

Lots of Love and safe travels

Hi Guys

You all sound so fed up, just think the weather is no better here in England!!!!
As for trading Peter for a pig at least you won't go hungary!!!
Steve mentioned the other day he was missing his "little man".
Hope the weather gets better, take care and speak soon.

Loads of love
Laura, Steve & Madison.

Hey all. Sounding a bit peeved. Just think of the weather here and it should bring a smile to your face. My arc is almost complete and waiting on the next flood to give it a go.

Trading Peter for a pig. Now that would have been funny. Think you might have been put up on charges if that happened. The kids must be getting a lot bigger now.

Keeping my fingers crossed and wishing you all the best of luck in everything.

Miss you all very much!

Big Hugs!

Could I please have an expergated version of your last blog as I am giving all your blogs to an old lady and she might not like it. I do appreciate that she has probably done the offending words but its not nice to remind her!

Bonjour. cava?
Le bebe pour le porc!! l'OH mon dieu!
j'espère que votre turbo arrive bientôt.
Apart from you petit problems, it sounds like your having an awesome time.
Wouldn't i tbe funny if 'Fix It Again Tomorrow' was an abbreviation of FIAT!
Anyhoo, Our bathroom is nearly complete (yes, the same one that Jane and Josh saw me working on in March)! and Tony, Sian and Jaden have bought the French weather back with them! Thanks.
In the words of Jerry Springer, Take care of yourselves. . .

Lots of love from Sabrina and Ross.
