Hi Arnaud.
I am in France. In Nantes. Screening my movie. I think you are far away from where I am. But I thought I would drop you a line on the remote chance that you are not that far and I might say hello, or you could come see my movie.

I have an engraver and ball vice for sale. Excellent condition. Any interest? I also have no idea what to ask for it.
