SO exciting! <br /><br />So far our Los Angeles 'blizzard' has produced some scattered rain showers and a little snow on the hills behind our house. It's still very beautiful. <br /><br />Sophie, my human calls me 'pumpkin' sometimes. She says it means I'm cute.

Amazon.de was our lifeline in France. It has things that the uk and fr sites don't have or are slow to get. A good project manager is worth their weight in gold. Things are quite quiet in the economy at the moment so getting their undivided attention may be easier. Good luck with the documentation !

We are now about two and a half weeks away from our flight to France. We had our visa interviews at the French Embassy yesterday and, predictably, there is just that one more piece of paper they need. It will take us about a week to get it, so we are cutting things close, but I think it will work out. Meanwhile, we have workmen doing various things at the house in France. So far, so good, and we have a good project manager, but it has been an interesting experience. I managed to order the mandatory trash bins on Amazon France today, my first purchase there. I really don't want to buy from Amazon, but their strategy of using a uniform interface everywhere is really effective. In Japan, the Amazon format seems very austere relative to Japanese shopping sites, and people thought it wouldn't work, but after all, they are very successful here without making many local accommodations. I think they do let you pay at the convenience store rather than using a credit card, which is kind of a "must" here - credit cards have really never caught on in Japan.Lisa in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080757130655335246noreply@blogger.com
