Some friends of ours won a very useful prize in a loto - a ham and a foie gras; just the thing for a vegetarian. Happily a swap was arranged for a meal for two in a local restaurant, won by a lady who might have trouble choosing from her large family who should accompany her. Loto prizes are welcome, but not always useful. A year or so ago we won a laptop computer; brilliant if we had not just invested in a new laptop a couple of months earlier. So we exchanged it for lots of Christmas shopping and gave the value back to the charity running the loto. Now a friend has won a TNT decoder (TNT - television numerique terrestrial - ie digital TV) and as they did not need it offered it to us in return for a donation to our charity - Via Sahel Enfants d'Afrique. Hopefully we will now be able to record those old films on France 2 late at night. Thank you, you know who.
