An extra day in my favor
A few days ago I woke up convinced it was Saturday. I'd gone to bed the night before thinking it was Friday night and that the week hadn't gone too badly. So I was pretty amazed that Radio 4, my computer'scalendar and even my iPhone told me it was, in fact, still Friday. I'd got the day wrong in my favor for once.
It had been a fairly productive week up until that point, and the extra day made it even more so. I finished it off with a trip down the valley to BUT (a kind of pikey French alternative to Ikea) where I spent a couple of grand on a cooker, freezer, dish washer, washing machine, bed and a few extra sticks of furniture. I also managed to fully empty my lock-up storage box and close that down. I was back in town in time for Friday evening apperros.
So that gave me the whole weekend to spend time up in Le Tour putting together flat-pack furniture and setting the place up. It's nearly there. There's still some significant work to be done, but I think I should have it all done by the end of this week, and movepermanently up to my mountain village retreat by the end of this week. I hope so - I've got my first dinner guests coming on Friday and I want to be ready.
