Sun

Yes, it's back. Clear skies and warm temperatures for the latter half of the day. Lovely. We had an early trip down to St G today to pick up the new shower door and other bits necessary for the bathroom overhaul and also to buy a scythe and to drop our docs into the Sous-préfecture for the car re-registration. After lunch, we chainsawed some much needed smaller diameter wood and then I got to play with my new scythe! It turned out to be very efficient on the land that we have got earmarked as a 'potager', cutting through the thick brambles that are choking the earth. Very satisfying and good exercise into the bargain!This afternoon Andy wired in a light to the upper level of the barn and discovered just how dangerously the previous electrics had been installed! I, in the meantime, treated and stained the new gate sections that Andy has made (note the dog access point on the bottom right!) which, combined with the wire netting...will prevent the goats from coming through to Pissou and wrecking our impending veggie patch!

So all in all, it has been a productive day :-)
