Gite changeover day
All three gites needed a changeover today. It's the first time for a while that everyone has left at the same time. Fortunately no repairs were needed this week. Quite often something needs fixing on a Saturday, and with three gites to clean and prepare for new guests it doesn't leave much spare time to go shopping or get the toolbox out. The most common breakage seems to be toilet seats. I've no idea why or how they get broken but now we are used to it and keep a couple spare. We know some other gite owners and they all have the same problem with toilet seats. Bizarre. Maybe French loo seats aren't designed for foreign bottoms ?
We completed all the repairs after our water leak by Thursday afternoon. The plumbers replaced the pipework on Wednesday and Ian and I then relaid the floor tiles and filled in the hole in the patio putting everything back ship shape. You'd hardly know we been. The incident put a minor dent in our renovation schedule for the new gites, but nothing too serious. Hopefully we should have the first new gite finished within the next week or so.
