friends finally!

Last night was excellent. I was picked up from work and we went to the Ferney area. I met about 10 people my age (this was the 25-35 group) and after a warm bowl of spaghetti, we had a time of sharing. It was so neat. One young couple is a YWAMer whose parents know my parents. Most of the guys are either German or German-speaking. The group is strong and really moving. I had a great time last night. It was nice to be able to make friends.

A lot of the people there last night are Procter people. Into their career and into God which is totally a first for me. They have good wages but don't necessarily have to drive around in a Spider to feel good. The guy who picked me up had a Passat exactly the shape of Odette. She too had been in an accident, so she was more of a loud chicken. But I loved the size. Such a car will be difficult to find overnight. Diesels are especially rare.

This afternoon, Odette is going to the dump. Sad, but true. I will hand over the keys, save her number plates and the radio from 1865 or so. And take off the fishy fish. A work colleague will driver her over to France with me around 2pm so we can come back together in the rent-a-car. This is 4 times cheaper than having it done in this country. Nuts, eh?
