All Mod Cons

Monday arrived and, as usual, the forecast was rain. It did look very unsettled and so we were not totally surprised when we had no one turn up for work this morning. We went off to Cahors to shop for some friends coming for a couple of days on Wednesday, and when we returned, we found that JP and Mikel were here. They'd put more tiles on the roof, and were then ready to start connecting us up to the Septic Tank.



Our plumber phoned to say that he was chasing parts for the boiler, and so he'll now be with us tomorrow (Tuesday) to connect up the water. Hopefully we'll have a usable toilet then.

I ended up helping the lads work out how to connect up the drainage pipes. It does seem to be complicated!

And unnecessarily so!

One of the reasons for going shopping this morning was to buy something to cook on. We'd wired up the old cooker which we inherited with the house, but it is refusing to work; it keeps tripping the electric. We managed to find a cheap two plate electric 'hob' and so we now have a 'fully equipped' kitchen.

Still, it's better than camping.
