I even don't know what channel it is on since we have soooooo many of them. I tried on sunday early morning then in the afternoon (ESPN, the regular channel... nothing). I even missed it when they left from Rodez (where my parents and one sister live). I was up at 3 am and couldn't find it. Maybe the last day will be "live".Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031276247743743680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945050858396741262.post-61828150940039765882010-07-20T21:32:00.358+02:002010-07-20T21:32:00.358+02:00One thing I do when I'm tired of the squash is...One thing I do when I'm tired of the squash is to shred and freeze it.
