A mixed bag

I seem to be doing a lot of writing on here, but theres so much going on. I met Boris the other day, hes a young Belgium? farmer who lives down the road i think. A nice guy, and a bit of a hippy it seems. He had a beard and longish hair, with loads of big earrings in one ear. He was softly spoken, and spoke good english, which makes conversation easier.
The television here is funny, and kind of reminds me of ITV back home. A couple of programs in particular. Firstly, i think its called ''offre au le banque''. Its deal or no deal but with prizes up to €1million, and they seem to get overly emotional, crying at every bad box, and at a good box theres music and claping lol, makes noel edmunds seem dull. Star academy is on ather a lot as well. Its like a mix btween fame academy, X factor and big brother. The people on it are soo annoying and always showing off. Although i suppose thats whate theyre there for. Its funny whe watching TV here you can understand mst things, and least a little bit despite the language barrier.
The weathers been a bit grey recently, altough not too cold, and only rain at night. Today (saturday) is sunnier, so i've taken the chance do do all my washing and let it dry in the sun.
I'm becomming a pro at solitair now on my laptop, it passes the time, and theres plenty of that here and there throughout the day.
We went down to the agricultural engineers place yesterday to get some help with a pump on the hedge cutter. Its fun meeting everyone, and at least saying hello and goodbye in french. Although at the moment i've not had that many chances to speak it, i'm making the most of those i get. I think on other weekends i'll try and go to Montluçon, do a bit of shopping and try out some phrases.
I'll try and get together a wildlife post, when i get a few more pics 'cause theres some good stuff here, till then, salut.
