Works have started again: the last phase with painting and a few (quite a few) tweeking. I am hoping we should be done by early november. That is only 5 months delay on the original timetable. Despite all of this, I am happy because I have kept to my original budget plus 12% extra which all thing considered in not too bad....
At this stage and after a long summer break here are my latest thoughts:
Global warming: 9th october and it 24 degree celcius in Burgundy. Very pleasant but something is not right. This is beyond the "ete indien". Still it will be pleasant weather to pick up walnuts and apples in the garden.
France is expensive: not only the euros is pretty much on a new par with the pound but also everything in expensive. No wonder everyone is grumbling with their salary here. I would have laughed at my builders bill a few years ago now i am crying...
The cats are hungry: la minette and scabby are hooked on whiskas and are fatting up before the winter. They can't stop eating...
I am not an interior decorator: I am very happy with all the building side of things but as soon as i have to chose color scheme for painting I am losing it. So it took me forever to pick colors well the color: it is going to be eggshell. That was worth me going though 20 back copies of "Maisons et Travaux"....
Digital camera: what's the point to having a good and big digital camera if I don't take it with me???
