		<title>More Mechanical Than Rude</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was a day of plaster and paint &#8211; I find it hard to work on Internet sites or blogs if I am thinking about mixtures of jointing materials and grouting &#8211; so hence a short and aimless (nothing new) piece today.
I have always found it hard to recommend people to do building work here [...]]]></description>

		<title>And Nothing Will Be Missed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Make a little list &#8211; and nothing will be missed. I am resisting the temptation to make lists of the things I have to do and then prioritise them &#8211; my fear is the list will be endless and ever-growing list which will be counter-productive and I will fall into the slough of despond and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twas a Dark and Stormy Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Again I always wanted to start with that line &#8211; it was snowing last night, which for march in the South of France sort of counts as dark and stormy I guess.

		<title>How To Swear In French</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just found this page French Swear Words online &#8211; the guide to pronunciation is not very accurate, but this may take into account a regional dialect &#8211; the comments correct most of the simple errors &#8211; but it is a useful article.

Now that I have stopped working (well almost) on the house, I am back to marketing and getting guests for our apartments and BandB.
