A full day...

 

We had a full-on day yesterday, started at 8.00am with a second coat to two of the nine doors in our hall (the house isn't that big!) which we are currently upgrading. Idea was to get to them before the full (rare) sun hit the courtyard. BTW have we told you we have been doing this DIY stuff for 50 years...we really do need to stop! Next we headed over to the decheterie in Descartes to empty our trailer of the rubbish I had taken to the one in LGP on Wednesday which was of course closed for the holiday - you would think after all this time here we would have sussed this already!!

Then it was down to Poitiers with the empty trailer to pick up our new gates for the side of the house. Then a stop off at Leroy Merlin for some stuff, before having an alfresco lunch at the nearby 'La Taverna' where we hadn't eaten in years, after a disappointing lunch we remembered why! 

Then as we were passing we made use of the large Auchan  nearby to do our weekly shopping (why not?) before heading home after feeling as if we had been mugged.  

We even managed a short walk in the beautiful evening sun after a wee refreshment!
