Tonight. Resting (I'll explain in another thread) Tomorrow morning. Taking my Christmas tree etc down and putting it back up in the loft. Yes Will, it's stayed up til the 12th night! Tomorrow afternoon. Plans to go out with MiBs. Depends on how I feel Sunday. Off to Braunston for lunch with Daughter, Son in Law and Grandkids at the Boat House.
Have a good one everyone

Today: Took the tree down as tomorrow I won't have time to do it. The cat is devastated. Went to tow for some lunch with Sal to compensate her for my activities tomorrow (see below). Will pop down Dicey's for a pint later after picking up my new headphones from an Amazon locker at Morrison's, then it'll be turkey curry for tea.
Tomorrow: This year is the 150th anniversary of Teignmouth RFC, and the first event is a pre-match lunch tomorrow afternoon. Obvs I will then watch the match and then we'll have king prawn pasta for tea, followed by cheese and biscuits.
Sunday: Report writing. Roast Chicken for lunch. Watching Call the Midwife in the evening and probably listening to prog rock on my headphones which will be a blessed relief for Sarah.

Friday...Took the Christmas Tree down. I Hoovered twice then Chrissie hoovered a third time as I had not done a very good job. The stuff gets everywhere. Tidied up some electrics. I had run earth cables to all the new lighting and switches. I cannot get used to the fact that French lighting does not need an earth so pulled all the earth cables back out again. Watched a couple of films on the telly with a glass of beer, the remains of a bottle of Pastis and some Superior Drain Cleaner.
Salad, Cheese and Charcuterie for tea and an early night.
Saturday...Dig some Carrots and Jerusalem Artichokes from the quagmire that is the garden. Tidy the cellar again. I have been insulating the stairwell and fitted a false ceiling and there are offcuts of Rockwool and Extruded Polystyrene everywhere. A trip to the tip in the afternoon.
Casserole for tea.
Sunday...My driving licence expires in July. I downloaded all the documents months ago in anticipation and filled them in last week and tried to upload them to the Government site and found that the rules have changed. For the better I might add. Download the new forms and fill them in and hopefully upload them okay this time. It does not say if I need English to French translations. I hope not, they are bloody expensive. Searching for hours on the internet some people have been asked for translations and others have not. I guess it depends on which side of the bed the Jobsworth at the Ministry of the Interior has got out of. I am a tight-wad so lets wing-it and see how it goes.
House-hunting on line again. Found a lovely place in the week. But its on the banks of a river that looks like it carries snow melt from the Pyrenees in Spring and could flood although I cannot find any historic evidence of floods. The 2 metre deep ditch along the length of the property with little bridges to get you to the riverbank to do a spot of fishing might be a giveaway. And do we really need 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and toilets? At our age the toilets would be useful. Chrissie has made my mind up for me. Its a no-no. Shame as its a nice house. And its a very good price. Probably 'cos it floods.
Pork Tagine for Tea.
Have a good one everybody.
