Ste Julie

We were expecting the pool guys back today. J-J should have returned from his day trip to the west coast and Stephane's last words last night were that he would see us 'demain'.

It was a bit drizzly this morning and we knew they were starting another new pool nearby, but lunch time came and they still hadn't arrived. We thought they would probably turn up later but there has been no sign of them all day.

However, the pool finally filled up and the sun came out, so I've had the washing machine on all afternoon, it is still churning out load after load, it's nearly a week since I last did a wash! I dug out the strimmer and attacked the new growth of nettles on the lower path and Jon made himself a log 'horse' - gadget for putting logs on to cut them to size - so the day hasn't been entirely wasted.

Our poor garden is looking the worse for wear now and I think it's going to take us a long time to get it looking neat again.
