Blowing in the wind

Oh dear...............Lisbeth is really down this evening. She had a good start to the day having worked really hard on stuff for the flat, clearing stuff with the builder, as well as taking a great load of horrible building rubbish to the tip in the rain.

However, late this afternoon, she went to collect her four-inch thick dossier from her avocat. (Progress on her legal battle with a neighbour is nonexistent, so she has decided to find yet another, new avocat!) She had geared herself up to protest at the bill, but found that she wasn't asked to pay any more. (This avocat knows that Lisbeth isn't happy and that nothing much has been achieved.) However, the four-inch thick pile of documents had somehow decreased to about one inch. Lisbeth was horrified. Where are the rest of the documents? What makes it worse, is that after 5 years of wrangling, Lisbeth isn't entirely sure what might be missing.

To make matters worse, her avocat told her that, after their last meeting, she had been involved in a car accident, on her way home. Lisbeth's dossier was on the front seat and, in the impact, went flying out into a field, scattering all her important legal documents in the wind! Apparently the fire brigade were dispatched to gather them up. Her avocat claims that none were, lost although some 'might be a bit muddy!'

Whatever the reason for the missing documents, Lisbeth now has the arduous job of trying to work out what might be missing and then trying to recover them. After that.................?

This whole thing is just a nightmare!

Salut, Monsieur M. Thank you for the kind comment on my blog. Sorry to hear L is having problems with her avocat. In my day this used to be an eggy alcoholic drink. How times change. Anyway, here's hoping everything works out OK.
