November

So, it's November... just
Two weeks ago I moved to France and promptly lost my mobile. That's not ominous at all? Goodbye everyone; will I ever see civilisation again? Not saying that France isn't civilisation, just in some ways it does feel like the third world (okay, maybe that's a bit too far) but right, middle of nowhere, rural France, everyone drives a tractor, every village has it's bike (and a fair share of inbreds - bit like the Larkman) and I'm here. I thought I'd have a lot of time on my hands, but even not working I seem to have a million things I should be doing that don't involve things I want to be getting on with. I have, however, found myself a job - je suis un immoblier international. That's international estate agent. For however long that will last - I don't even get paid for the first 6 months. Luckily Seb will be doing a bit to feed my habits.
Also I have my Sirius (beautiful dog) and he had his Birthday on Friday (I can't believe he's 5!) I baked him a birthday cake (suitable for human pets as well as dogs) and he yummed it down.
Is it ok to give dogs raisins? I have a cookbook for your dog and it has raisins in recipies, but the list in the back of the book says NO! to raisins, so is it just a limit - they shouldn't have more than a few, or are they American plebs who wrote it and can't even keep a vain of continuity in the cookbook by going back on what they've said?!? Argh! Stupid people frustrate me, let me just hold onto that tether of pretentiousness and I can continue being obnoxious..... arghhhhh, yes, obnoxiousness.... tastes beautiful and renews me with fresh energy - Steam on!
