In addition to the list of failed electrical equipment in the last post add:

Washing machine: Not working (fortunately the one in the house rather than our main one in the barn)

Could be a tricky one for the insurance company, bought in 2010 in the UK, this model no longer on sale in France, nearest equivalent here over €700. Exact model is on sale in the UK through multiple vendors from £256 (that's about €350). Still can't understand why electrical equipment is so expensive here.

I spoke to Dominique at some length on Tuesday and then he still had several things not working in his henhouse and dairy. He said everything with a connection to the phone lines had failed including the automatic feeding system for the cows (rest assured they are still being fed, just not the exact amount based on their milk output and stage in cycle). He also said he had a 100kV surge protector on the henhouse and the lightning had bypassed that and blown out the ventilation alarm system.

So I think we were lucky ....
