How annoying!
Maggie and I are home alone at the moment, as JM has gone off to Paris to a comic book convention. I could have gone, but by the time we drive up there (best solution with Maggie in tow), stay in a hotel for the weekend, pay the autoroute and gas for Beanie, etc., etc., it becomes a rather expensive exercise. So, it's just as easy for him to take the train and go on his own.
Yesterday, Maggie clearly knew that "something" was going on and whatever it was, it was not good for border collies. This was certainly confirmed when, after lunch, JM and I drove off for his quasi-permanent Friday afternoon appointment at the dentist, and we left her here on her own. Strangely, that seemed to lull her into a false sense of security, because she seemed vastly more cheerful after we got home and took her for a nice long walk in the gardens.
Again, she seemed very happy when we drove to Pamiers and she got to play in the garden at Philippe and Bernadette's house, where we stopped off before going to drop JM off at the night train.
By the time that we got home, she realized that we had once again put something over on her, and hung around downstairs for a while, waiting to see if JM was going to walk through the door. Once she figured out that he wasn't, we spent a quiet hour watching television before heading up to bed.
Today dawned with lots of rain; typical because after all it is market day. The big bazaar table was here and set up in front of the house, but closed down after barely half-an-hour. Probably a wise decision.
But the rain has cleared up and we got to take a nice long walk. When we came home, I heard odd noises echoing throughout the house. Now, knowing we were alone, I found that strangely disturbing. I followed the sounds and found them emanating from my computer! I had gone to the 3Suisses website (mail order, similar to Sears in the U.S.) and on the screen was a strange man inside a television set, "tapping" on the screen! Okay, I get it, they want you to ask for live help. But don't tap at me! I can find you if I want you.
I'm glad it was only a stranger in my computer and not one in my house!
Ciao for now.

Hi Randy
I had the same thing happen to me with the man tapping on my computer - I also thought someone was in the house. I love your blog keep up the good work.

Thanks, Deborah. It's always good to know that people enjoy the blog. And, you don't have to worry about me tapping on your computer screen either!
