Saint Peter de Saussines


A couple of things came out of our visit to the market in Sommieres today. Well three things if you count the fuzzy head I had all afternoon.

The first, was when I was chatting to a friend, and he was talking about fitting a new bathroom in his home. The existing bathroom was fitted four years ago by a French guy who left all the pipes exposed. Wanting to change things, he hired a Polish plumber, paid for his flights from Poland, and is really pleased with the job he has done. 'He also does all the little bits, like electrics, as well as hiding all the pipes. He's done an excellent job and even including the cost of the flight at a really good price. More to the point he turns up when you need him and doesn't whinge about the job.'

The second interesting thing was meeting Saint Peter of Saussines. I used to know this man when he was just a mere mortal but now that he's not drinking (or more to the point only drinking before his missus turns up) he's waiting for the call from Rome. We're so honoured.
