Or, there's the bus 230 from Nice to Sophia and back, which only runs on weekdays (not on weekends). It costs 1 euro for a ticket plus, possibly, 5 euros to put your bike in the hold. The 5 euro fee is new and not all drivers ask for it.

Where is this? Thank you - your blog is a goldmine of useful information, particularly for a newcomer like myself. Hello,

I’ve just moved to Nice, just north of Liberation, and would be very interested to know where I can go “..mountain biking in the forests during mornings”. Where is this?

Thank you – your blog is a goldmine of useful information, particularly for a newcomer like myself.

What amazes me the most reading about people in other countries is the fact how many ties people take things forgranted in their own countries. Great Post Wow I found this post very interesting.

I fooled around with doing it just to see if I could but haven't put it up that way. But that probably wouldn't make it possible for me to block someone because the blogspot url would still work. I could mess around with it though. You can access some of the blogger code in the template so I wonder if I can put something in there. Blogger makes it possible for you to have a permission only blog but not the other way around as far as I could see. I used to have the blog on my server but the newer Blogger services were only available if you were on blogspot. Yes my cats are one of the biggest joys of my life. Every evening at 6PM I walk home with them from the studio (it is all fenced in so they can be outside all day). I love coming down our garden path with 8 paws following. Then they are very hungry so I give them their favorite dinner , they lick the bowls clean and run off to their sleeping spots because they are as tired as little kids. They are loving companions. hmm, but I do own the domain caturday.com and it is possible for me to open the blog (which is caturdayblog.blogspot.com in a caturday.com window.

If you're using Blogger I wouldn't know how, sorry -- I own this domain and pay for hosting so that I'm able to edit files that are put on the server directly. For blocking an IP address, that would be an .htaccess file. With a service like Blogger I'm pretty sure you don't have access to that sort of thing. Sorry I can't be of more help! Aren't cats wonderful? Their joy for life is infectious. That sounds like a beautiful trip, Brittany is gorgeous!

We're going to France the end of August, will be in Provence and then meeting up with French girlfriend and family in Brittany. I look forward to it, though we are real homebodies here. Do you have any idea how I can block one IP from my blog? I'd write more but there is one person I just don't want to entertain. I looked at the Blogger info but didn't see a way. Any ideas? I have a fantastic Cannon road bike made for women, it was expensive, about 1700 dollars but is the most comfortable bike I ever had. I have a seat made by Terry called the Butterfly and that helps when we are out doing 20 to 40 miles. I also have a mountain bike but the last dew years have been on the road. We have lots of great mountain biking here in the mountains so I should get back to that too. But I might want a new mountain bike then! Grey is a handsome fellow who looks grateful to have landed on his paws with you in a loving home. And good food is crucial. I remember when I got smart enough to buy premium food and watched Brendan's fur beautify. Ramona is on my knees. Hi Fraise, It’s always interesting to read about someone else’s life.
