Strike for more strikes

Occasionally, even someone as healthy as I needs to see a doctor. In my opinion the only reason can be that I am such a fine figure of a man  that he wants to just admire and praise that rugged physique for which I am justly renowned.  That, or if he is reading the blog then there may be a suspicion about my alcohol intake.  Red wine of course is good for you. Full of statins and the like, and the word moderation is in my opinion a subjective term.  An old friend in England (Gordon Cato, I wont embarrass you here by naming you) when asked by his doctor how many units of alcohol he consumed,  asked him what was the recommended maximum. The doctor replied 28 for a man, so he breathed a sigh of relief , “I am well inside the limit, there is no way I could  drink that amount each day”  he said, triumphantly.  Of course the doctor meant 28 units a week….
So I have a touch of high blood pressure, probably brought on by the stress of all that thinking about work, and a tad high cholesterol, but again a subjective term but these are being monitored every few months or so, and best to get this snapshot taken before the London Pride kicks in tonight, before the day of intensive negotiations on Currencies matters, where I will be continuing to attempt to secure even better exchange rates for the people who are wise enough to sign up for Currencies Direct.  Indeed, it may also be the case shortly where you will be able to click on the link in this blog and get an application form, such are the range of benefits I am trying to secure for me dear clients. I shall also be attending The France show at Olympia.  It is very good of them to put a show on dedicated to me.
And talking of snapshots, (which we were in the first paragraph, please try to keep up) here is a picture of Valbonne market taken of the square, it will be the kind of image I rely on to fortify me through the monsoons that await in London.

Valbonne Square, where the art of "square bashing" began

The wingco tells me a story about listening to a lecture some in Guernsey some years ago about the Normans, but it was been delivered by a Swedish guy and being translated rather badly. The lecture was suspended for a few minutes after the translator who was trying to find a word to praise the Norman conquest and superiority referred to this as Norman Wisdom.

The French love a strike and so, I now hear, my trip to the UK may be in jeopardy.  A general strike on Thursday with a wave of other strikes today could yet rescue me from the elements, whilst denying me the London Pride I have been focussing on to keep up my spirits.  I think they are striking because it has been so long  between strikes  they want to protest that there should be more strikes, or less time between strikes  . It also give the locals a chance for a march and  a bit of a demonstrate.  These are largely good natured events down here, which make up part of the French social calender, I just wish they went to the pub more often instead.
