Nice Men

The sun shone today and what a different perspective it puts on life.

We went to the market this morning to get a "Box" from Bernard. Whilst we were there we met the mayor and had a chat and mentioned that the only street light in our hamlet was not working. By 2.30pm a huge lorry had arrived with a hoist and the light was operational. I suggested to the mayor that it was part of his duties to climb a ladder and replace the bulb - but obviously not.

Michel, our neighbour, has been working very hard all week clearing the area around his barn. It looks much better and all these improvements really make a difference to the hamlet.

With no rain today the builders have got on very well. The roof on the older part of the house seems to have been much more of a challenge than the first part of the roof was. As there is rain forecast for next week Cyrille says that they are going to work tomorrow (Saturday).

Just after the builders had gone home the window fitters arrived. Their boss had agreed that he would have the frames fitted in the stairwell passage by the end of this week so that the plumber can start fitting the underfloor heating on Monday.
