Oh readers....
How could I have gotten to the ripe & luscious age of 45 & continue to be so naive? Today, whilst browsing through my credit card bill & coming to terms with the fact that I actually have to pay that three-digit amount at the bottom, I saw that the Hotel Buci in St Germain have charged me 54 Euros & The Only Thing It Can Be is Claude's postage! We did not spend one extra jot at that hotel because it had already been a bit of a treat. For those readers who missed this installment, it basically revolves around Claude the Wonder Dog being left entangled in the bed sheets in Paris while Steve & I caught the train to Burgundy. I had called the hotel to ask them if they could post Claude to me & in my utter, blissful naivety, I ASSUMED they would post it for free! Or for a small charge - not $97.65 (as converted)!! It's an absolute O.U.T.R.A.G.E I tell you! And so is the French postal service, because if that truly was the cost to put Claude in a cardboard box & mail him 250kms, it took a week for him to arrive! I need chocolate to recover... Gulp :o(
