The migration has been successful and I’m now back with what I think will be a faster loading web site. There was a bit of a hiccup which led to a downtime of an hour or so but things were resolved and I think that everything’s running smoothly again.
Like I said in my last post, there’s always the potential for things to go wrong but if they do, it will only delay things for a short while and nothing will be lost, so long as you’ve taken proper backups. On this occasion they weren’t needed, I’m glad to say.
That’s enough excitement for today – and I haven’t even had time for lunch yet…
Oh, by the way, while the changeover was happening there was some movement on the electricity front. A team from Bouyges Energies (remember them – one of their engineers turned up months ago and said that before I could be connected up, a cable needed to be put into the ground, a simple job as the ‘gaine’ was already in place…) turned up and in the pouring rain, apparently connected up the cable that had been hanging out of the side of the box that had been installed by the previous team. Are you still with me?
So the cable is in and connected, but I’m still not connected up, of course. That will require a visit by a further team – my guess is from Enedis – who will be responsible for making the ultimate connection to the box that I put in place (see above) weeks and weeks ago.
So that will be four teams involved – EDF, Enedis, SDE24 and Bouyges Energies. Is it any wonder that things take so long to get done and cost so much in France?

Phillipe, you’re an idiot and clearly a newcomer to my blog. If you care to look back you will find that I have a great affection for France and the French people and have done so for 60 years. I wouldn’t live here if that were not so. However, I speak as I find things and will continue to do so despite stupid comments such as yours. I’d also appreciate some examples of my ‘continually bad-mouthing’ either the country or its people on my blog. I won’t hold my breath, however, while you’re trying to find them, because there aren’t any. That, of course, doesn’t fit your agenda. Have a good day.

…… So what I am going to do, after the sale of my old house, is buy some land and go through the whole process of a new build in a country that I am continually bad mouthing !!
The English abroad eh …… Colonialism still alive and well in the 21st Century.
