Anyhoo.. lets see if any bright sparks are on today to guess where I am heading, its all in the clues:

I think you're off to Versailles - it's beautiful. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
How fabulous I just love the place. I would love to live in the Trianon - so feminine. Have a wonderful day. o/

Been ploughing through pages of guidance and forms for setting up LPAs (Lasting Powers of Attorney). An excellent precaution but lots of paperwork - not to mention a fee of £130 - and you need separate LPAs for financial and for health issues.

Cor blimey Gov, how the other alf lived. Yes I did end up in Versailles but luckily I didn't lose my head. So extravagant but never got to the gardens as it rained too much, so will prob go on next visit. Would have been a nice existence if you were a royal pre revolution there. Big blot though was seeing just how egotistical and a tyrant Napoleon was. Not sure if I was annoyed or just found it funny that he had such aspirations as having such large paintings made among other things, seemed to tarnish the palace and its ideals, no wonder he got excilled. I see the truth of Bill and Ted now,haha.

Now for tomorrow, I am off to see a big silver ballbearing?!

Is it the silver ball fountain at Palais Royal or am I way off the mark? :confused:
So pleased you had a wonderful day yesterday but a shame about the rain.
