Surgical weight removal

Saint Antoine

Finished sanding all the windows at the front of the house. On one of the windows part of the window sill and some of the frame in the corner had all rotted away. I bought this 'synthetic wood' (mastic polyester pour bois), brown quick setting polyester resin, to patch it up. Good as new and much cheaper than a new window.

I'm off to hospital to have my tonsils out tomorrow morning. I should only be in a couple of nights but I taking the following books, because there is only so much French television one can watch.

• Girl with a Pearl Earring -- Tracy Chevalier, Nearly finished, and finally the pace is picking up a now the maid has got more involved in Vermer's paintings.
• Lovely Bones -- Alice Seebold, Caroline has read it and recommends it.
• Behind the Scenes at the Museum -- Kate Atkinson, No idea, recommended by one of Caroline's friends. This is my backup emergency book.

Back blogging in a couple of days.
