    I definitely think a few hours - now only 2,5 - of this banter is probably the way forward till Am51 returns to take the B...

    Cheered me up no end amid attempts to close down work for the holidays! The image of Wagner in baggy cord trousers is currently doing it for me... (and helps to blot out the image of rubbers twiddling)
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                                Actually, 'actuellement' means 'at present' or 'currently' (cf. 'les actualités' = the news.)
                                On dit 'en fait' or 'à vrai dire'.
