Just Another Day at the Mad House

Monday morning and we'd got 3 days before we have to go up to Limoge to collect Betty. I'd previously organised a delivery of Castine for this morning, although we were'nt quite ready for it.

So this morning was spent bringing in rocks to level up around the manhole covers on the septic tank.

The Castine was delivered mid-morning and I thought that, after lunch I'd make a start on moving it into the courtyard.

What I hadn't planned on though, was Sue deciding that I needed help. The help was great, but it meant that, instead of stopping when I'd done enough, I felt that I had to keep going. And we kept going till we'd finished!

Then, just as we'd finished, JJ and his cousin, Jean-Luc, arrived to remove the caravan! We'd checked with JJ and Nadine if they minded if we got rid of it, and then they said that J-L wanted it. I thought that there might problems getting it moving, but, to my surprise, it went without a hitch.

So now we have an uninterrupted view up the tree alley.

The day was rounded off with two long phone calls from the UK, two lots of unexpected guests who dropped in, and a subsequent late dinner. Where did the day go?
