System I inherited has a 1-many table (2 cols) to join stuff. But instead of multiple rows it has CSV string in a single row! #Facepalm

Drove up to Payolle for a stroll & ended up parking in the clouds. Still lovely, if a little chilly for summer!
Sunday 26 June 2016
Drove up the Hourquette d'Ancizan. Opened the door to some new friends Misty but the change makes it interesting.
Sunday 26 June 2016
This looks interesting. Maybe it's beer with a hint of bacon?

Tiny supermarket in Bagnères-de-Bigorre has nice select of local cheeses. Love taking random chunks from here. Yum!

Type, "Farage 350" into any news search engine. I see stories in English, Dutch, German, Spanish, etc. UK is a global laughing stock! 
Friday 24 June 2016
My social network is full of posts of disgust at #Brexit (with just 1 exception). So glad for sensible friends & today, a 2nd passport!

Our butter dish (or what passes for one in the snail). Might have been a bit warm today

To change sides is OK. It's that Boris's motive is completely self serving & nothing to do with what he knows to be best for the UK. #Brexit

Boris Johnson, Feb '16: "real problems of this country, low skills, low social mobility, low investment etc have nothing to do with Europe"
Tuesday 21 June 2016
Just ate a whole baguette and, like, half kilo of blue cheese. I invite anyone in bio-weapons research to come visit in a few hours! 
Tuesday 21 June 2016
I'll forgive and forget If you say you'll never go 'Cos its true what they say It's better the devil you know Wohoo #Brexit @kylieminogue

"Countries usually don’t knowingly commit economic suicide... Leaving the EU would be an act of national insanity"! https://www.washingtonpost.com/o...

#Brexit fact: UK donates more to charity than EU costs it! Why would such a generous nation turn it's back on less fortunate neighbours?
Tuesday 14 June 2016
UK markets & pound plunge on mere suggestion #Brexit Leave may win. Imagine hit to pension funds & cost of living if it actually happens!

Helping friends collect cherries from this beautiful tree in their yard. Yuuuuuum!

Fresh baguette delivery in France. Bread here is seldom wrapped & clearly throwing it in an old pipe isn't an issue!
Thursday 9 June 2016
Salt on jersey is normal but I took ass-sweat to whole new level today 100km Tourmalet loop & still 30° at 1700m!
Thursday 9 June 2016
Bit of a struggle up the Tourmalet today. What with heat & running out of water after going long way round. Oops!

Re my previous tip on @googlechrome disabling 'Smooth Scrolling' in chrome://flags Setting seems to be ignored the next restart #Annoying
Wednesday 8 June 2016
Chrome scrolling make you crazy? Fix: chrome://flags & turn off 'Smooth Scrolling'. Disable crappy 'Session Restore Bubble' there too! Yay!

Another back to back tasting test. Duval v St Bernardus Tripel. Verdict: too close to call. More testing required!
Monday 6 June 2016
Random walkies just up the hill from Gerde. Lovely shady track is good as it's pretty warm this evening.
Saturday 4 June 2016
All I could find in the fridge... Leffe & Duval. How terrible! Cheers!
Saturday 4 June 2016
UK headline: "Temperatures to soar as summer finally arrives... Highs of 25C predicted in London" LOL! Oh dear! #HopeItGetsBetterSoon

More French hardship: tough choices to make in the patisserie BTW, we went the gateaux fraise & it was to die for!
Friday 27 May 2016
Accidentally plotted a cycling course up the wrong hill & ended up here: Plaine d'Esquiou. Could have been worse!
Tuesday 24 May 2016
Dear friends, if you heard of French fuel shortages don't worry. Fuels that count (baguettes, cheese & beer) all still readily available
Tuesday 24 May 2016
... some time later... Just enjoying the evening sun with a few tunes & amber refreshment. It's a hard life!
Tuesday 24 May 2016
Schoolboy error: Out riding & remembering there's only 1 bottle of beer in fridge! Masterful save: It's a 3 Monts!
Tuesday 24 May 2016
A few locals obviously thought phone I pulled from my back pocket was food. Sorry! Will bring carrots next time!
Tuesday 24 May 2016
Col de Beyrede (some dirt & gravel on the climb) & Hourquette d'Ancizan. Cos you can't do famous cols ALL the time

Things to do this arvo, so little spin up the Aspin & to Lac de Payolle was all there was time for today. Oh well!
Wednesday 18 May 2016
So, man cannot live on bread alone, huh? True, but having just polished off my second baguette of the day gonna have to admit I'm trying!
Tuesday 17 May 2016
