The nurse arrived at 6:45 to take my blood, the French are big on blood, when ever you have a minor ailment you have to have your blood taken.

Not a great start to the day. Work and lunch. 2pm dentist. Could my day get any better? Two fillings and lots of drilling. I was drinking my pain killers through a straw when our agent called to ask if we were free to exchange contracts on our house! Errrr yeah we're free.

So 10 days to wait, 'cos she can still pull out (another daft french law) and i'm still walking on air. It could be the pain killers.
