she had expressly reminded me, before I started stripping all the old piping and tubing and wiring from the garage, not - and I do remember her emphasising this - not to cut through any live wires.

I once hired a friend to come over with her tractor-mower and cut my field. Before I left on an errand, I pointed a standing spigot out to her specifically and told her not to run over it.
I also had the foresight to show her where the water turnoff was.

You can see the rest of this coming, can't you?

When I got home she was sitting on the ground with PVC pipe and waterproof epoxy and a fine-toothed saw, repairing the pipe. She said she was glad I had showed her where the water turnoff was.

Well, the first question that springs to my mind is, do you have some sort of lottery ticket in France, one you can dash out and BUY RIGHT NOW?!

Well-written...I really enjoyed this one; I'm still shaking my head, and I hope you suffer no residual effects in the days to come.

hmmm... i suppose you might be able to argue that if only you were able to read french better, this would never have happened? ;)

glad to hear you are all in one piece still :D

no no - the photo shows the bandage they patched it with (spelling out in words and picture, what would happen should I decide to return to the attack . . .)

Ummm... Don't do it again? Miraculous escapes don't necessarily come in pairs :)

I'm glad to hear that you're ok, though.
