Jour Ferie - Ascension
Saint Bernardin - Ascension
Jour Férié, Bank holiday, today so the children have not been at school. I took them cycling and round the local lake and they had a play on the made-man beach. Whilst we were cycling round Hugh was in front and we came up behind these two old people walking on the path. Hugh hollers in his best French voice attention (look out!) and the couple leapt to the side then smiled sweetly as this grinning 4 year old comes past peddling furiously.
Left Caroline painting three internal doors in two of the gites. Whilst we were on a roll we decided to knuckle down and finish all the painting jobs on the list and give ourselves more time in the Autumn to work on our own house. We haven't done alot in our house at all as the gites and public areas always take priority, however this Autumn I hope to put a in a new kitchen to replace the current rather tired model.
In preparation for starting the new kitchen I thought I better finish some of those niggley little jobs in our house that never quite got completed, fit an architrave around one door, fit a plinth and add replace some silicon sealant in the bathroom, tack in a bit of beading under a wardrobe, screw in some hooks for the net curtains. Just very minor jobs that seem to take all day.
No mowing today, I thought I'd have a day off :-)
