Last Friday evening we started our weekend with new french friends who we recently met.They are also building a house nearby to us.It was nice to feel we could get through a couple of hours spoken mostly in French, something we certainly could not do when we came here.
We spent Saturday with our client showing him 5 houses. We await the out come. On arrival home we had a letter from EDF, the Electricity people stating that as our bill was unpaid,unless they recieved payment by Tuesday they would terminate our supply! I spent 40 minutes on the phone trying to explain what the problem was but with no success.
Thankfully we could put this worry to one side Sunday as we joined 3 other couples for lunch. It really was the perfect way to pass a Sunday, a wet one too, sitting at the table for over 4 hours - most enjoyable.
We contacted EDF Monday to be told there computers were down - nothing they could do! We decided to go to their local offices - 28 kilomtres away in Cavaillon. Can you believe it was closed 'exceptional'. We were becoming a little fraught - so we called on a friend who is fluent in French for help. Her phone cal revealed that EDF have now issued a revised invoice which we await with trepidation!
