    OK, so it rained on and off most of the day and I only managed to do a bit of pruning BUT I caught a mole - see

    Mole thread

    and then Mother Nature gave us this at 9.50pm (our time) .........

    If you're in the Haute Vienne, yes, but in Falkirk? Maybe not so good! To be fair, though, it was fine all afternoon and evening so I didn't finish until 9:15, but I didn't start very early.... :rolleyes:

    J'adore la crepuscule! (sorry, no accents....)

    Aha, whis4ey - you are right! It adds an acute accent to any vowel - that's something which might be useful at least.... so I'll forgive you for putting the wrong accent on "tres" - it goes the other way!!!!! Nary mind, eh?!

    Bon soir mes amis.

    Merci for all your kind comments. I'm sorry I upset a member about the mole but c'est la vie.

    I use this little gizmo Accents
    which can sit quietly on your screen and you just drag and drop in the letters as you need them. I guess Hyla and I would need it more though.

    Rubbish day today. No sun, just more rain and cold at 15 degrees. Yuk.

    I have a Portuguese keyboard set to English, but can swap to Portuguese for accents ... but that's an excellent link kryssy and have put it in my favourites.
