Washing day!

I heard a key in the door and then the doorbell rang as my keys were in the other side and an unexpected visit by Thierry. He didn't say at first why he was here but it soon became apparent when I saw they bag of dirty clothes!!

"Il n'y a pas encore de lave-linge à St George!"

Which is true. Thierry spends most of his time now at Jean-Pierre's place and they, well not exactly 'they' knowing Thierry, more like Jean-Pierre, is repainting and DIYing and the flat is not quite finished and there isn't a washing machine, yet!! (That sentence was long and would probably have sounded better in a video!) Anyway, Thierry popped in leaving his dirty washing before having to go to a nearby swimming pool to pick up Jean-Pierre. However he was able to have a look at my Macbook and the very thing I was hoping not, it is not a software problem but a hardware problem. Thierry suggested that I go to the FNAC and get a cleaner disc (although I think we have one here somewhere) but he thinks it is more serious than that! So does that mean I have to buy a new macbook or have it repaired or buy an exteral DVD drive?? If you have some ideas let me know.
