How to keep your family warm in France

Labels: , , , , , ,

It's sunny, It's warm & the French papers say that spring will be ending on Monday.
I don't care. I sat on the terrace this afteroon, took my jumper off & my brilliant white skin blinded everyone.
No it was a very nice, 18c in the shade & if the French papers are correct that spring is ending on Monday then that means summer is next, or have I missed something.
As a standby, I have lit the wood burner & turned the heating on for the evening.
I have also decided to cook the family Mexican chicken fajitas tonight for a bit of internal central heating.
Normaly anything spicy I cook starts with hot mouth, hot throat, hot stomach & in the morning you melt the toilet.
But I have promissed the kids I will not to go to hot tonight, because normally every time I do chilli for them, the shares for Andrex double the next day.
I'll let you know tomorrow how it went.

I forgot to say that I think I have nearly finished the
barn to gite blog. If you can leave any comments or ask any questions, that would be great.

There is a photo album on the left, if hover your mouse over it you can view all the pics.







The weather girls

Labels: ,

It was as predicted cold & frosty this morning but it soon melted away when the sun came up. It's been sunny & almost warm. Sat on the terrace this afternoon in the sun felt like it was spring time.

At bloody last.
I'm fed up with the weather girl coming on in the morning telling you that there's been a months worth of rain in 24 hours or that there's so much snow you can ski to work. & the whole time she's wearing a mini skirt & a skimpy t-shirt. Don't get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with that. But not when she's telling you how bloody cold or wet it is outside. They should have Francis Wilson there in his suit with his tie all skewiff almost sober wearing a pair of ski's or big yellow mac. Then you might take it more seriously. Or you could move to France & sit on your terrace in February & wonder what all the fuss is about.






All new pools & Gites

Labels: , , ,

I haven't blogged for a couple of days as I've been creating a new blog about building your own swimming pool from a kit that we bought online.


It's located at the moment on The Newbie Page , click that & it should take you there. When I've got some more time I want to do a blog about the creation of our Gite . I have hundreds of photos of all the work from start to finish but I need to get them in some sought of order before starting or I will just confuse myself & you.

By the way, it's a very popular time in France at the moment to buy moth balls. But I always wonder how they get their little legs apart?





Internet service sons

Labels: , , ,

OK my internet connection is now back on. My service provider said they received 73593 calls saying they had a problem connecting to the internet, and the problem seems to have come from the exchange just near me. Must have been a problem there end.

I am now sat writing this blog with a bottle of pays d'oc wine which is half empty. Or maybe half full depending how you look at it. But i'm sure by the end of this blog it will be empty, my spelling will be even worse than normal, & deal or no deal will be over. It's Sunday evening the kids have still got to finish their homework & I'm still almost sober. Tomorrow is Monday (S**T) and I have a new apprentice starting for the week (S**T), & it's my eldest son (S**T).
If tomorrow this blog is being written by my wife then you know that I have left home. Either because I've got so p****d off with my son, or the internet police have caught up with me for shutting down the internet to western France. But either way it will not be my fault, because neither works as it should.
