Hard Life

We've just realised that it's a week since we last posted any news , but, yes, you've guessed it.......we're still pointing the stones in the passage for the stairs. At least we've moved down one level!

Having said all of that, Sue has been finishing grouting her ornamental pebbles in the bathroom.

And, we seem to have been doing a fair bit of socialising! Last Sunday we went to our friends in the next valley for aperos; Monday evening we had a meal with our french neighbours round the corner, Nicole and Jean-Marc; Tuesday lunch-time we barbequed for 13 when we hosted the Book group meeting; Thursday evening we had a meal with our Scottish friends Annie and Donnie; Friday lunch saw us performing a party-piece at Liz and Dave's 'bit of a do'; finally on Saturday we went for aperos with an english couple we met a year ago at the Tour de France.

We should be able to get back to some serious work now, or at least till next Sunday when we're going to a BBQ. And then, of course, we're off to Ireland for John and Nikki's wedding, and that will see August finished. As you can see, it's a hard life out here.
