Visitors

8 May

Barney's first birthday, how I wish I was there with them.....

Lynne's first full day started late and then we did a bit of shopping at the Garden Centre and hypermarket.  Everything else was closed, this being yet another public holiday.  Then she read while I did some more painting.  That's what a visitor should do!



One coat of undercoat slapped on the exterior of the shutters!

The other visitors were of unknown origin but had got into the letter box again and eaten some of one of the two letters.  So, what do you think they chose, the lovely thank you card for the present we had bought for our friend's granddaughter or the letter informing Chris of his fine for speeding.  Yep, of course, it was the bloody card!

I walked back to the letter box and stuck some tape over the biggest holes to see whether that does the trick!

Bit of gardening, dinner and wine

Friday 9 May

Lousy day, late start.  Shopped for boring things like black plastic and toilet seat.  Fitted said toilet seat.  Well done me!  Cleaned loo floor.  I was tempted to take a photo of it afterwards.

I went to see the plumber to find out when the cabinet de douche would arrive. He doesn't know!

Went to the dechetterie, where I was welcomed as an old friend and then to the old Leclerc's, where I finally found a laurel bush to replace a dead one.

Read Beautiful Kitchens.  Hah! I don't think so.  Cooked curry on my one halogen plate.  Fed up with the weather.  The suntunnel MIGHT be coming next week.  Hope so!
