Weeekend of 21/22 January 2006.

Saturday

What's the worst job in the world? will tell you....it's sanding down taped plasterboard joints in the ceiling. What a pain in the neck. I am writing this while waiting for Sharon to vacate the bathroom so that I can soak in the bath. Mind you, Sharon has also been busy today painting the day bed we bought in the Depot Vente in Coutances. A Depot Vente is a warehouse type place where the French take their old furniture to sell. The price falls the longer it remains unsold, so you can often pick up a bargain, mostly though it is old junk.

Sunday

Finished the sanding down and put up the first coat of paint on the ceiling. Me with the roller, Sharon cutting in. Finished mid afternoon, bright sunny day so we took the dogs for a walk. Long bath, glass of scotch, feeling lazy. No tv as the satellite is unplugged. Roast turkey for dinner. Roaring log fire, finished reading The Adventures of Hucklebery Finn. Not a bad life.
