Ste Léa
It's a cold and miserable Easter all over by the sounds of it. Whilst chatting with youngest daughter this morning I was able to report beautiful sunshine, rain, hail and then sleet before the weather settled down to beautiful sunshine again. We can see on the road in the distance the odd caravan and camper van heading south for the holiday - I just hope they find a bit of warmth!
We have finally heard that work on the pool should begin in the first few days of April. The delay is due to another previously started pool that is filling up with water every time it rains. Since the forecast for the next week is changeable with a fair amount of rain I suspect they will have that problem for some time to come.
The next week will, with any luck, allow us the change to get some tree clearing done. As we've neither of us used a chain saw before we have been waiting for a more experienced friend to turn up with his and give us a few pointers. We're looking forward to getting some more light in the garden but it will no doubt leave us with another pile of trimmings to shred or burn. The logs will be saved for next year's fires once the log burner is installed.
The car is going to the doctor's on Tuesday as, when I had to have four new tyres the other week, they noticed that the brake pads and one disc need replacing. Oh joy. More expense. Still it will be done and safe for a good while to come, hopefully.
We had a very nice meal with friends last night at the local hotel school, but the meal was quite late (even though they insist that you arrive before 7.30 not a dish was served before 8.30), so we arrived home at midnight feeling very full and I spent a rather uncomfortable night. Surprisingly I then slept through the Little Bar Steward's insistent scrabbling at the kitchen door this morning and we didn't actually get up until 10 o'clock! Disgraceful behaviour!
