Gite changeover day
Saint Anthelme
During our gite changeover today I needed to replace a bulb in the cooker hood extractor fan. A quick rummage through the spare bulb cupboard turns up nothing appropriate. We must have a dozen different types of spare bulb, but never the one you need. Screw-in, bayonet, large and small, incandescent, fluorescent, candle, globe, rod, pear-shaped, 40W, 60W, everything except a cooker hood bulb. A quick shopping trip to buy one, plus a spare, should make it a little easier next time.
Still reading, Girl with a Pearl Earring byTracy Chevalier, but I'm finding the descriptive language a bit over flowery and heavy going. Every item of clothing, every room someone walks into is described in minute detail. I'll persevere for a while yet, but I might give up and read Lovely Bones byAlice Seebold. Caroline has just finished it and really enjoyed it.
