I finished my course of meds this week but unfortunately I am back to square 1. I need to visit the doctor again. I tried to start fitting a false ceiling in the stairwell down to the cellar on Tuesday but had to give up.
Friday...
I am going to have another go at the ceiling again this morning. We have found a house in a small village near Lourdes that could suit so Chrissie is getting onto the estate agents who are in Bordeaux. Watch Rugby in the evening.
Fish baked en papillote for tea .
Saturday...
Hopefully finish framing up the false ceiling and put in cabling for the new lights. Or go sloe picking at the back of the bar. The bushes are laden with fruit and they are starting to dry out the weather has been so hot. A run to the dump. I have a car full to get rid of, goodness knows where it all comes from as we have done no gardening for months
Watch Rugby all afternoon and evening.
Keema Peas with home made Chapatti's for tea.
Sunday...
I dunno. See what I feel up to. Perhaps some ceiling work. Perhaps a bit of pruning in the garden. The Jerusalem Artichokes are about 8 feet tall and have took a battering in the high winds we have had this week. Chrissie is planning on sorting out all the tubs of flowers and herbs.
Nothing planned as yet for tea. We have a glut of veggies so possibly a Ratatouille and a Roast of some sort.
Have a good one everybody.

Tonight - Blues on the telly (grrr, yet another Saturday match I don't get to go to) Saturday - shopping and a walk Sunday - at some point Jac will be popping in. Since he doesn't drive this will probably involve going to Chester station to collect him then taking him back to Chester later. Until we know his plans we can't make our own plans.

Tonight. Left over Chinese from last nights takeaway and the off to the theatre to watch Calendar Girls the musical. Record the footy and try to avoid the results so we can watch it when we get home. Saturday morning. Collect 5 ur old granddaughter from Daventry. Drive home via Rugby as there’s a fabulous soft play place which she loves Saturday afternoon. Rugby, Rugby followed by more Rugby (it’s definitely going to be a Rugby kind of day!) Sunday. Nature Centre then back to Daventry to drop little one home.

Going to be spending most of the weekend backwards and forwards to the hospital. Sarah is currently in AnE having a blood transfusion, and will be kept in at least overnight.

Oh my gosh Hope she’s ok. What happened for her to need a transfusion? Loss of blood "down under". She's definitely in tonight and more than likely for a couple more days as they've got more tests to do to determine where all this blood is coming from.

Hell's teeth, Will, that's a shock.
I'm not sure what on earth we can do from this distance, but please don't hesitate to ask if anything occurs, even if it's just to pick up the phone for a chat (and I'm sure everyone else on the board feels the same).
In the meantime, please give our love to Sal and make sure you're looking after yourself as well - you won't be any good to her if you're not in half decent shape yourself.

Well, that house we liked the look of came to nought. Actually its a house with an attached barn conversion, much bigger than what we have now, and less garden which is a bonus. A big problem was the kitchen was tiny, ours is huge. And it only had a single pellet burner to heat the whole house and its up near the ski slopes of the Pyrenees. It had been restored to a very high standard and to spend another 30 grand on a heating system would have meant redecorating the whole house. We currently have a 12KW log burner in the lounge and oil fire central heating throughout with 13 radiators that equate to around 14KW and we struggle to keep warm in the winter. The family selling it must be Eskimo's.
We saw another house we liked the look of but when we enquired the "garden" was 47,000 square meters. That's 8 football pitches. I cannot cope anymore with the 500 square meters we have now.
The search goes on.
