What is happening in the world

Were are our morals, what the heck is going wrong with the world. What is wrong with people who would support a man like this?

Malc and I worry about the world for our grandchildren. Brexit and the extreme right wingers in the UK, the Ukipers,  phew the world has gone mad.

All we can do is keep fighting for sanity, keep helping and loving and showing true respect to all people.

This is circulating the internet this morning.

Seems like an appropriate time to remind readers hat we have an admitted sexual predator sitting in the White House right now...who has offered a lifetime position on the Supreme Court to an alleged sexual predator. 

Birds of a feather, y’all.

Toulouse Lautrec for sale?

Many of us have used the Clinique Toulouse Lautrec at Albi. This clinic specialises in various ailments which can affect the elderly, as well as more common surgical interventions. But because it is owned by the same group as the Clinique Claude Bernard, also in Albi, the competition authority demanded that one of the clinics be sold.
Long negotiations have taken place with the public Centre Hospitalier Albi which wanted to take over the private clinic. But once again the lack of competition worried the authorities and no deal has been done.
It was thought that a buy-out by the staff was possible, but it seems that they were unable (or unwilling) to raise the money needed. Unions representing nursing and ancillary staff want assurances on jobs - preferably via the CH Albi purchase. However it seems that a new private buyer has come forward and all await the next moves.

Library Lit presents a talk on Corsica

An illustrated talk

Corsica:  Land of Magic and Mystery

Parisot Library
Saturday 29th September
10.30 talk - 11.30 discussion - 12.00 apéritifs

Vanessa Couchman, popular local author, has visited Corsica many times and in her third novel (the second set in Corsica) and uses her knowledge of the island's rugged beauty and tumultuous history to paint a tale of her 18th century heroine's struggles against entrenched beliefs and superstitions.

Vanessa will present an illustrated talk exploring Corsican history and culture, rituals and supernatural beliefs.

Signed copies of "The Corsican Widow" will be for sale.

Najac concert for the Handsome Family (and Jason Toth)

The Handsome Family have written some of the most haunting and beautiful songs in American music. During their 25-year career Brett and Rennie Sparks (a.k.a. The Handsome Family) have created songs that transform the mundane landscape of modern life into a place of mysterious portent. As Greil Marcus said, “… their everyday surrealism has no parallel in contemporary writing…” 

There are a lot of new faces at their shows these days, thanks to “Far From Any Road,” which became a global hit when it was used as the theme to season one of True Detective. Both Guns ’N Roses and Bruce Springsteen have used the song as walk-in music and it is often played at hockey games. And, believe it or not— David Bowie’s recently published notebooks contain a line that simply says, “Handsome Family.” Who knows what might have been?

Handsome Family “Far From Any Road” / TRUE DETECTIVE title sequence:

This September, Brett and Rennie, along with Alex McMahon (guitars, steel, keyboards) and Jason Toth (drums, keyboards, sampler) will perform their brand of gothic Americana throughout Spain, France, and Italy, including their stop at Camping des Etoiles in the Aveyron outside of Najac where drummer Jason has been living for almost a year.

Fashion show for Parisot Fripaffaires

FET October: "a truly magnificent piece of theatre"

★★★★★ "a masterpiece of storytelling... a truly magnificent piece of theatre." Broadway Baby

We are thrilled to welcome In Loyal Company, a powerful one-man show hot off the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it won five-star reviews, on Wednesday 17th October 2018 at 7pm.

Performer and co-writer David William Bryan tells the true story of his great uncle Arthur – known as Joe – who never thought of going to war until the Liverpool bombing raids of WWII. He joins up and is sent to Singapore, only to go missing when his ship shinks and ending up in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp.

Pieced together by Bryan and his co-writer from family history and documentary research, Joe's story is touching, humbling and at times viscerally exciting, whilst Bryan's acclaimed performance is all the more heartfelt for his flesh-and-blood connection with the hero.

Watch this for audience reaction..

Two cats urgently needing knees

Two delightful cuddly cats, both are used to knees but happily hunt outside between knee sitting. Both are sterilised, had injections and all that sort of thing. They have been looked after by an elderly lady who is not able (for various reasons I do not want to go into ) keep them anymore

I have met them and given them a cuddle and they really are sweet.

Sarah Wright is looking after them at the moment and she can be contacted on  tel 0648518085

And for such a good cause

No deal does not look good for us, hope for better

Good morning Val,

I wondered if you could put a request out on your blog. Ive recently broken my foot and have to keep off it. I have been lent a wheelchair that somebody pushes but I wondered if any body can lend me or I can rent a wheelchair with the large wheels that one control's them self.

They can contact me on Mazandadie@hotmail.com 

Many thanks

A report in the Depeche of the opening of our second outlet, raising money for people in need in the area. I am trying to correct a mistake as the reporter says we gave to one cat association when we actually gave to “ les amis des chats” who sterilise cats in the area amongst  other things.

Our darling dog has left us.

Some days bad things happen. Today was such a day as our lovely Golden Retriever, Bonny, lost her battle with her heart problem. We knew her heart was much enlarged and affecting her lungs and breathing. The hot weather has not helped her and the vet had no doubt that she had come to the end.

Nearly 13 years old she had given us 13 years of delight. Always patient, tolerant, affectionate and full of fun, if only people had that temperament the world would be a better place. When you lose a beloved pet it is like losing a faithful companion and dogs take your heart like no other pets.

Recently I was re-reading “Lake Wobegon Days” and Garrison Keillor wrote of the death of his old dog – I apologise for changing the sex of the dog and a few details, but it is so right.

“I missed that old dog a lot. She was a good dog to know. She was steadfast of course, as all dogs are, and let nothing come between us or dim her foolish affection for us. Even after her arthritis got bad, she still struggled to her feet when we came home and staggered towards us, her rear end swung halfway forward, tail waving as she had done since she was so young. We seemed to fulfil her life in some way, and even more so in her dotage than in bygone days when she could chase rabbits. She was so excited to see us, and we will miss that…More than her pure affection, however, we will miss our affection for her”

Val visited one of our dogs’ favourite walks and commended her spirit there where Daisy and Twister were no doubt waiting for their lovely companion, Bonny.

Work shops and French/English conversation

The Universite Populaire is currently enrolling for this year's workshops and conferences. There's a vast array of activities to choose from such as Italian, Yoga, Flower Arrangement, Mosaics, Stained Glass and Wood Carving. And following the success of Franglaischange, the English / French exchange group that ran in Caussade last year, we are running two workshops this year, one in Saint Antonin and one in Caussade, and are recruiting Anglophones and Francophones wishing to practice their French and English conversation in a fun and sociable context.

Festiltt restaurant/festival dinner booking open

Festilitt - the Parisot literary festival 19, 20 & 21 October 2018

The continuing saga on applying for a carte de sejour

Hello Val

We had 7 working days to produce the documents requested.  We went to Montauban this afternoon to be told that we would need another RDV to give these personally to the Agent.  However, there were NO available appointments until well after this time.  We refused the appointment and were ready to leave the documents on the desk when another women appeared from one of the offices.  She looked at the papers and said that they were OK and took them away with her??

We feel that there is a strong possibility that if couples take seperate appointments it could lead to a situation where, although both have arrived in France together, one could be elligible for a Carte de Sejour and the other not. 

From what I can gather from other people it is just this one women who seems to have a problem.  We will just have to wait and see what happens in our case.

More information

Hi Val
I have seen Hazel’s post re a carte de séjour from Montauban. Perhaps she should pass on her experience to RIFT’s Facebook page, as they are really helpful in terms of advice and also want to monitor the different processes/attitudes in different departments. Those who have been processed in Montauban have nothing but praise for the staff there. There’s also a non -EU chap looking for advice re citizenship. The Toulouse citizenship Facebook group is really helpful too. It’s called British People Gaining French Citizenship Together in Toulouse but I’ve also seen queries from non-EU people and they may be able to point the man in the right direction if they can’t help him themselves.

Sarah Brown

Oh dear, not good

Last week we managed to secure a cancellation for John to to to Montauban to apply for his Carte de Sejour.  We met a lovely man who asked for each piece of information in a clear voice.  When it came to proving that we had lived in France for 5 years he selected copies of the Taxe Foncieres and d'habitation (along with originals) from the things we had provided (electricity bills, telephone bills etc).  It was a pleasant experience.  My appointment this afternoon was totally different.

Armed with the same file as last week we confidently approached the office and came face to face with a small women with short, dark hair.  Then the nightmre began.  It started off OK with my personal information but proving our 5 years here became difficult.  She rejected everything from last week and demanded our Tax Returns.   Not a problem we had copies of the front sheet that showed our number and how much tax we had been asked for.  Not enough, she also wants the 2nd sheet and also proof that we have actually paid.

We now have a piece of paper showing what information she needs with a directive that we have to deliver them by hand and give them to her.  She did relent a bit here and has said we can send them by post but there is no way we are going to send original copies of our tax returns in the post.  To get this card we have to do as she says but think this is french bureaucracy at its worse or best depending on which side you are on.

Hazel Armfield

taglines83@gmail.com

Val says our RDV is the 2nd Oct. I hope we get the man
Malc adds: according to your avis there is no need to produce original tax returns for official purposes, provided you have a photocopy verified by a revenue site :  www.impots.gouv.fr/verifavis
However I have only managed to have recent years verified despite it apparently having been publicised since 2015

Book swap lunch

This is to remind you that there will be a book swap lunch on Monday 1^st October at 12 noon. As I will be away, I need to have final numbers no later than Friday 21^st so if you wish to be included for lunch please let me know if you haven’t already done so.

Many thanks.

Autumn weekend at Espinas

As we cross the autumn equinox (even if the weather seems to be resisting it) next weekend, Espinas is planning a celebration, with theatre on Saturday and a vide grenier on Sunday.

Our best wishes to Sarah

My bestest work buddy Sarah Brown had an accident yesterday and fell down their stone steps breaking not just one but both ankles. Poor Sarah will probably have the next two or three months in a wheel chair. Our thoughts go to her and to Gareth who from experience when Malc was ill I know how hard it is for the carer.

Without Sarah my right hand man and with two outlets now opened it is also going to be a struggle for Mains Tendues 82. If you had thought of offering help now might be the time, even if it is just for the winter months. We need people to help us pick up donations, sort donations and help in the shop Saturday morning for a couple of hours. Contact me privately if you want to find out more.

Acquiring French nationality

Hello Di

I saw your question on Val's blog, Tag Lines.  

I don't think there's any particular privilege given to EU nationals when it comes to acquiring French citizenship - it's something I think is open equally to people of all nationalities who are legally resident here.  Were it not, I think the Poms who are whingeing about Brexit (me included) would have it on their long list of privileges they stand to lose when the UK leaves the EU.  

The regulations governing the grant of French nationality state that the Interior Ministry has 2 years to decide whether to say yes or no in any individual case, and that this is reduced to 1 year if the applicant has been French resident for more than 10 years.  I don't know which applies if an applicant passes the 10 year point while their application is being processed! 

Hope this helps in some small measure.

Best wishes

Chris

Resonances in the garden

Jean Donies welcomes visitors to the Jardins de Quercy

For the Patrimoine weekend we went to hear and see the duo "Winner Team" in the superb setting of the Jardins de Quercy, between Varen and Verfeil. Created over the last 25 years the bare hillside has been transformed into a series of gardens which represent different themes and heritages.

Winner Team

The day was sunny and warm, but not too hot and we were helped around the difficult paths by one of the creators, Alain Herreman who took the time to escort Malc along tricky passages, carrying stools to ensure that Taglines had seats in the shade.
The musicians, on clarinet and accordion, played in three different gardens with talent and humour. The music ranged from klezmer via tango to Sidney Bechet, with a not too subtle reference to the French World Cup triumph in the shape of Queen's "We Are the Champions (of the world)". The audience joined in with singing and well deserved applause.
John Donies the fellow garden creator reminded us that payments taken for entry to the gardens are to fund an association called "Toutes a l'ecole", which funds schools for girls' education in Cambodia (though today entry was free).

Music in the garden settings

The lovely afternoon at Cambou was just a refresher for so many of us there today, but the gardens are open each week in the summer, so get along there before it closes for the winter.

What a great week end

atmosphere.

Thank you also to all who came and hope you will continue to support us.

Contraband cigarettes here..

"carotte" at metro station Barbes: screen capture

A Paris metro station well-known to be a place where sellers of contraband cigarettes can be found was embellished with a fake "carotte" as the famous tabac sign is known.
During the night of Friday/Saturday some unknown person attached the sign to the wall outside the station, to the amusement of passers-by and the anger of local "buralistes", as tobacconists are called.
In a time when addicts can apparently order cocaine or cannabis by text from local dealers in many big cities, putting up a sign seems a little old fashioned. However, the sale of counterfeit or contraband cigarettes is wide-spread in cities near the borders of countries where tobacco is cheaper and is leading to gang warfare on a scale reminiscent of other drug wars.

Calling Aussies, Americans et al

Hi Val

Trust all is well in your neck of the woods.

I have a question for any of your readers who are non-EU residents. eg Aust, NZ, Canadian, US. Can someone tell me how long it took to be approved as an EU National. I mainly hear of the experiences of Brits (EU citizens), but i can't recall anyone in the same bracket as us (Aust citizens) who have applied for citizenship. I'm keen to know the length of time it took, accepting the variations that occur across Prefectures. Also any additional information as to the process would be welcomed. 
Cheers

This artist can amuse (sometimes)

Pic : Remi Benoit

Taglines has covered several of the installations of James Colomina, an artist and sculptor from Toulouse. His trademark work is to place a human figure, always red, in unexpected poses and places. This time he has taken advantage of restoration work on the statue of Jeanne D'Arc, in the eponymous Toulouse square, to place a red man on the empty plinth.
But the figure has an apple for his head. Colomina explains that the apple represents unnecessary consumption, as the apple was temptation to consume, which mankind (in the figure of Adam) chose to ignore.
The artist's work is well known and has been shown in Paris and New York, as well as the streets of Toulouse. Replacing the Maid of Orleans with an apple headed man will amuse many and cause some to protest. Art can be like that!

Loto money to preserve the heritage

This Patrimoine (heritage) weekend is to celebrate and visit those structures which form part of France's heritage - not just old buildings, but newer projects which capture the imagination of all generations.
The system of protection and preservation has existed since the first patrimoine fund was established in 1819 and communes have been charged with dealing with upkeep of their cultural heritage. Now a lottery has ben set up by FDJ, the body charged with operation of the various lotteries and scratch cards sold in France, with the sole aim of supporting heritage projects. The "patrimoine" loto is expected to raise up to 20 million euros via the cards and the lottery, the first draw of which will be made tonight.
With a jackpot of 13 million euros over 250 projects stand to benefit, projects which have bid for funding and range from historic abbeys to abandoned railway installations.
Buyers of the tickets and cards may be attracted by the prospect of a big win rather than saving the patrimoine, but perhaps the ends justify the means.

More information about Brexit

Surveys of UK citizens living and working in EU countries suggest that many either are 1) bored with Brexit, 2) know nothing about it, 3) are terrified and anxious, or 4) hiding from it in the hope it goes away.

This link from ECREU, an organisation concerned with the effects of Brexit (without being pro or con in principle) covers the progress or lack of it towards an exit agreement and how it could impact on our lives, dealing especially in a "no deal" scenario.

Donkeys being rehomed

Hi Val, can you post this please:

As I am retiring from active donkey rescue next year I have several donkeys/mules/ponies to place. Do you have the commitment, land and shelter but most importantly the time and love to offer a life long home to any of my best friends.  These donkeys have been taken in either direct from the butchers or horse meat markets. After much care and attention they are now in a perfect condition. 

Admin, hope this is ok as I am a registered Association, if not pls delete !

IPHONE found

IPhone found

 

Someone brought me today an iPhone in a red leather case, which has been found somewhere on the ‘causses’ near Saint Antonin Noble Val by a French lady who was taking a walk. We charged it and can see that it has been blocked by the owner. The iPhone is installed in English so the owner probably is from the UK or any other English speaking country.

If someone is missing an iPhone like that, please contact me on 06 43 73 46 97 or pop-in in my shop in Saint Antonin (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Sunday morning).

Donkey lunch and before long an end of an era for Jan

Dear friends of the donkeys

At last I've got friends together to cook a lovely meal for you all on Thursday 20 September.

I do hope lots of you will come along to support us.

Our shop will be open from 12 o'clock serving an aperitif, then lunch is starting at 1 o'clock,

here's our exciting menu ...

Vichyssoise soup

Beef and orange stew with mushrooms, or

Hearty shepherds pie

Vegetarian terrine with a spicey sauce

Apricot tart with cream, or

Lemon ice cream

All proceeds to help the donkeys.   The fields here are still like the desert and your

contribution of 17 euros a head will buy much needed hay and pay towards the high farrier

and veterinary costs that we incur.

I should add that with my impending retirement next year I am desperately looking to place my

donkeys/mules/ponies into good life long homes to carry on being cared for throughout their lives.

Any contacts you may have please put them in touch.

Also if there's anyone out there who could help with the towing of our horse box that would be

marvellous as I have several donkeys waiting to leave to be delivered locally.

Thank you all in advance and I look forward to seeing old friends and new on the 20th.

Jan xxx
