Thanks for the tip about the store in St Junien. I must be quite near you , we are in Haute Vienne...but not there all the time as life took some serious turns a while ago. I can't keep up with the accent, but I am trying! Love your vlog.
Happy Birthday Lisa. Sending lots of hugs. Hope you get totally spoilt and have the best day! What a great creative fun video. Next level Rob. So enjoyed the 'extra' input from subscribers... great editing. You certainly have a way of engaging people. Classic look from Robbie at the table when you unpacked the weights. I'm sure he was saying to himself in French... 'What's he up to now?' Tell me you won't change 'chop and chat' to workout sessions. Still smiling Rob. Thanks heaps.
@@glynislouis5778 Thank you Glynis, that’s so lovely of you to say. I’ll pass it onto Lisa. Glad you appreciate the editing. I enjoy it but it’s a lot of effort for sure. I’ll be keeping the chop and chat as it is so don’t worry Robbie does look at me bewildered at times lol 👍🇫🇷
Well done for picking that box up Rob 😂 i thought u had bit off a bit much at first 😂. Are u going to start a curl n chat section now.... Love the chop and chat bit really great. Keep up the great channel mate its the highlight of our day when we sit down to watch. 👍
lol, it’s only 41kg so not heavy but too big for us both to fit through the door lol. Seems as though the chop and chat is a hit. Do like the curl and chat idea lol It’s an honour to be the highlight of your day when you watch us 👍🇫🇷
Rob, there are some apps on your telephone that you can use to remind you of your appointments. You can also write your appointment on the blackboard in your kitchen. That was a cheeky split you did there. Missed the "comedy capers" tune when you were struggling to get the box through the door. And a happy birthday for Lisa.
@@JoepMeijer Lol Joep, ironically I do use the blackboard for appointments but after a day they are ignored. Hopefully I’ve sorted it now I’ll pass the message onto Lisa thanks 👍🇫🇷
Happy birthday Lisa. Can I ask why you chop all your logs so small? I only used to chop a ' starter' kit up, once the fire was going, I would put logs the size you start with on, as they burn slower. Perhaps I was just tight with my wood!
Thank you so much. I will pass it on. Simple answer is......Ive more words to say than logs available, so i just keep chopping. It's nothing tactical lol
I split logs in barefoot, slippers, trainers,boots sometimes in high heels ,depends on what I'm doing next😂Happy birthday Lisa🎉, for tomorrow my nephew shares the same day😊
lol… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…. Your personality is where it’s at!!! I’m coming to France for two weeks in October- let’s you, me and Lisa have a point!!! Happy Birthday Lisa!!!🎉🎉🎉
in certain french working enviroments it was (and probably still is )it's was/is common to have a six pack or the 10 pack and was refered to as a' radio' i have experienced this many times working with french farmers and forest clearing , im sure the old timers have a similar name down in your neck of the woods, anyway it was so easy to end the working day half cooked.
@@Escapetofrance-Charente i've known a few, but not like the Brits, their catholic and its very bad form to be anything excessive in public, everything has to be in private. so be carful they are easily shocked and remember we are the principle historic enemy (i love france and i love some of the french, and my children are all french but our history is worth keeping in the back of the mind,)
ohh Rob , your English is like the south accent in France, i have difficulties to understand you but i am French so , if an American can't understand you , that give me hope !!! you speak like a "mitraillette" , and i love making effort , parle un peu Français de temps en temps qu on rigole , merci and joyeux anniversaire a Lisa .
That is hilarious anyone in America would talk about your accent when we have hundreds of different dialects in America with different slang lol I'm married to an Irishman so I have a pretty good ear for any UK language. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
Hubby is a retired Marine, but I was Navy. Or as Arthur likes to call me, "a squid." I guess you could say that squids wear peeky-toe shoes just like those who operate mechanical log-splitters.😂 Happy-Happy Birthday to Lisa!🎂🎈🎉
@@LivinCindysLife OMG, read this out to Lisa and we’ve just had a pointless (in my view) conversation about star signs lol I think Marines favoured footwear for combat was sling backs lol
What you mean you won’t wear the standard issue white stilettos with Ron Hills as well 😂. Got to say love my 7 tonne splitter makes it so much easier. Gemma says do you wear trainers for Wood chopping but looks like your wearing the stilettos for moving the boxes 😜. Happy Birthday to Lisa have a great day. 🎉
Appointment missed means a costumer lost for hairdresser : it is your fault and like say frenchs " for make you forgive,next time bring a wine bottle" ! ( I am joking : that happened but it is not the end of the world )
Oh dear Lord...don't ever piss off the person that puts t colour in your hair or cuts it!! You could end up with a messed up cut and a purple a Dye job! 😂
Hi Rob , Lisa & family . First & foremost I send best Birthday wishes to Lisa , I hope you have a wonderful day . Again a great video . May I suggest that you ask the hairdresser to phone you on the day before the appointment just so you don't forget , I am sure she will not mind . As to upsetting the French don't worry about it , I do it every day , cause I am the local 'Bobby' in my village . It's great fun . Evening all .
@@Escapetofrance-Charente I am the local ASVP. In other words I look after the security of the village including traffic duties , illegal parking , & keeping an eye on all municipal buildings & equipment .
You’re a good lad, you’d of had to pay at my hairdressers. 🤣🤣Don’t dye your hair it’s distinguished when grey😊😊. Your chopping is improving..I hope you all enjoy Lisa’s birthday.🥰🌈🥰
Un très bon anniversaire à Lisa. 🎉Je lui souhaite beaucoup de joie avec ses chevaux adorés. Pouvez vous les monter ? Ce serait chouette de faire des balades dans la campagne.🐎 Sinon une très belle année 2025 à toute la famille. Savez vous qu’ici on peut souhaiter « bonne année « jusqu’au dernier jour de janvier ? Les voeux sont en perte de vitesse parmi les jeunes mais c’est une bonne occasion d’avoir des nouvelles de personnes un peu éloignées.
Bonjour Martine. Merci pour vos vœux d'anniversaire pour Lisa. Elle a passé une excellente journée hier, merci. Non, nous ne montons pas les chevaux car ils sont à la retraite. Fait intéressant à propos des souhaits de bonne année, alors merci
Au lieu de te faire livrer des altères de 3 tonnes par un pauvre type payé avec un lance-pierres, tu ne peux pas aller les acheter toi même à Décathlon, grosse faignasse ? 😄
LOL. I helped him off load. He nearly fainted when i just picked one up off the back and then he asked me for help with the second. Shame I didn't have the camera lol
The U.S. Armed Forces are the same, we have to harass the other groups, and yes the Army is the best. Well done on getting back into working out. I started about 3 months ago and feel much better for it. Happy Birthday Lisa! Laterzz!!
