It was great to see everyone again, sorry if we missed you, but our schedule was quite hectic. There were plenty of pubs and restaurants, 3 Saints games ( 7 points) and a five-a-side comeback appearance ( I seem to have turned into a later day Ted MacDougall, a poachers hat-trick but can't run back for toffee!). My old office at le banque de chaval nior has turned into a new Theme Park, "Secret Squirrel Land". It must have some scary rides, as you can't take your mobile phone in there.
After all that excitement, it was time to get back home to France for a well earned rest, and return to work.
The ceiling has finally been finished, although I do have to keep filling the odd hairline crack on some of the joints. It will probably get worse once we put the fire on, and things start to expand, but I've got lots of caulk in reserve.
Mr H has plastered the chimney breast, and Tina has been hard at it, painting all of the walls.
I 've fitted all of the new lights, and have finally got round to connecting the new circuits to the mains. It took a lot of work, dragging the heavy cable through the loft, and it was a bit scary, working on the meter and being so close to the live cables, but it all worked first time. I was so drained by the whole experience, putting all that theory into practice, that I gave myself the afternoon of to calm down.
Anyhow, enough of my ramblings. Here is what it looks like now.
