merci a toute le monde qui m'a envoy les Birthday messages.
Yesterday while the artist was working, I set to work in le petit toilette, and stripped off the tiles with Julian's power-hammer, much to Manon's chagrin!
(It was a blowy grey day and she'd taken refuge on Ruth and Julian's bed only to have her afternoon nap somewhat disturbed by yours truly. A desperate scratching on the bedroom door prompted me to open it, which was followed by a brief and swift flash of grey fur as she fled down the stairs.
We are forgiven now I think, as a peace offering in the form of a live doormouse was presented to Julian in the middle of the night to the sound of "Grrrrrrr....", presumably in time for him to have it gift wrapped pour moi?!
However J thought better to release the stunned creature into the vines whereupon it hopped off into the night.)
Anyway.. zut alors, I got to patching up the loo area with some light weight terracotta blocks and packed about 50 litres of Chavre, the revolutionary organic concrete mix behind making the whole wall secure and solid.
Ruth has kindly telephoned M. Michel and we will view the Gite on Tuesday afternoon next week. Perhaps if we have a think about next July we can firm up the reservation for Cathy's 50th in Sete.
