Mercredi…la soleil brille!
Jul 25th 2007PeterGetting My Life Back!
And today has indeed been hot and sunny!
Yesterday was another wet day, in the morning we went to the local town (St Yrieix) to complete a shopping trip we started on Monday (but had to abandon because the shop didn’t open until the afternoon) and then in the afternoon, Mark and I went to the Bricolage (DiY) shop in Pompadour – dodging the rain showers.
However the weather cleared overnight, and although it was misty this morning, that soon burnt off and we went back to Pompadour for the local market. There are some more pictures on the gallery. Pompadour is the home of the French National Stud, and the Chateaux is a grace-and-favour home for the National Stud President.
After the trip to Pompadour we returned back to the house and uncovered the pool and spent the afternoon sitting round with a Pimms or two and taking the occasional dip. The weather got warmer as the afternoon went on and the pool warmed up by a couple of degrees – by the end ofthe day it was up to 24C – a bit cool for my liking, but still pleasant!
One other diversion was a bit of grass cutting – this picture shows Mark on his tractor – I had a drive later (pictures in the gallery).
My appetite is getting better, and more importantly, my mouth seems less sensitive. I don’t know if it the French air, the food, the folic acid supplements, the company, the steroid mouth washes or a combination of all these – but it is a welcome development!
So, as always, Onwards and Upwards!
