Plodding On

Although it's (only) a couple of weeks since we posted some news, we're getting complaints from some readers, even some here in France, that we'tre not keeping you all up to date.  So, fear not; if there's no news it's because we've only done mundane things.  We're sure you don't want to know how many times we've been to the shops.

However, last week was taken up with the electrician who returned to finish off our electrics.  This involved, on my part, being around and pushing or pulling wires through tubes as necessary. (Don't ask what tubes, it's far too complicated to explain the French wiring system which is completely different to that used in England).  We're very pleased that all of the electrics for the house are finished.  However that means 'over to John' to get cracking!
I'm now finally(!) trying to connect up the water to the handbasin in the 'guest' bedroom (it has to be ready for Christmas!).  This has met a snag (there always is with plumbing) and I've found that the leak, a statutary requirement for 'home' plumbing, was caused by a small hole in my plastic water piping,  This then means a trip back to the shops ... inevitable!!!!

The main problem is the additional shopping that occurrs when one shops, especially when one's better half is there!
