les Davey de France

I saw this DS in Bordeaux - the finest example I have EVER seen. Beautiful !

I thought I'd put on some photos of our little neighbourhood on a rare sunny day.

Yes, I know that there's a breed of dog called the dogue de Bordeaux .

Wow ! I queued for an hour for the modem ! Anyway, here is the post office forecourt, and I took the picture because you have those old buildings right next door to the massive concrete and glass block. That's Bordeaux for you.

at the student centre. They have attempted to deliver the modem. I hope it is at the post office at Meriadeck, so today I'll go into the centre, retrieve the little card, pick up the modem from the post office, plug it all together and ... hopefully ... bob shall be thine uncle and frances thine aunt. Well it's now 14:02. Robert and Frances fought back, but I am glad to say that after umpteen attempts to get the wifi to connect following the instructions and two phone calls to Darty, I decided to work from first principles: I deleted everything that could be mucking about with the wifi USB key ( old installations of Wanadoo/Orange and Neuf ), downloaded the wifi key drivers from the internet and installed the old fashioned way ... and it works. Hurrah !
