And....I didn`t get to go brocanting all weekend as we had so many people here, builders, painters and uncle Tom Cobley and all so now I have withdrawal symptoms and keep wondering about all those treasures I might have missed.....................
And....I am fed up of having everything packed away in boxes and having to make sure you wear slippers in the middle of the night when you pad to the salle de bains just incase you tread on a nail or screw....
And I am sitting here typing with my coat on as the windows are wide open for the shutters to be fitted...............
And.....some fly has had the audacity to poo on my newly upholstered cafe check stools in the cuisine and when I catch him I`ll swat him flat making an example of him to all the other flies on the marsh......................!!!!!
And ...........its so cold here and there is a gale hurling across the marsh that would slice the face of an Eskimo in an iron mask. So, I lit Hercule the old range and when I was filling him with coal dragged the sleeve of my coat across the top and it sizzled into a charcoal mess................................
And...I can`t connect to photobucket to host my photographs for my auctions for some mad reason........and my hair is like straw and I haven`t seen my make up for weeks......and I have hairy legs......another sip I think...................
And......the house paint is a lot lighter than I thought and its looking like a fairy cake with icing......another glass I think............shhhould I...yesh why not....
Jusht going to resh my head on the table a minute..........................................hello ickle ickle ickle fly.........whatsh your name then ickle fly?.............................
I love you ickle fly......................I really really really love you fickle eye....................
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....................................
Pour Shirley! But we WANT to see pictures of the fresh painted house, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kind regards from Margit (Germany)
RépondreSupprimerOh Margit....................its so clean and fresh it scares me! I have seen this place black and so dirty for the last year I suppose In wasn`t ready for the bright shock. I took a drive at dusk across the marsh to another village to look at it from a distance and it still scares me! Its a little like a seaside house. Two more sides to go and then I`ll do some pictures, promise!!
RépondreSupprimerOh dear Shirley. I perfectly know what you're feeling! Bon courage! You'll see, everything will find its place and you will very soon forget all this chaos! Kisses, Fra

RépondreSupprimerYou are too funny .I did the same last year I had couple rooms added. Good luck . Laura
RépondreSupprimerI feel your pain. But I have only a barn in California, not a chateau in France, to turn into a home so I somewhat envy your trouble. Sigh.
RépondreSupprimerConstruction and remodel is not for sissies that's for sure!
