Time warp




I forgot to mention that a strange thing happened over the weekend on the journey to Agen and back, in the area around Beziers. In both directions the car clock changed, by itself, going forward about 1.25 hours. Weird.
Mr Chimney Repair Man showed at midday yesterday, as re-scheduled. After a lot of sucking through his teeth (why do they do that?) he gave us a possible solution and, without giving a precise date, he said he'd come back and make some alterations to the fireplace. Everything is worth trying now.

You wouldn't think that a man would use a visit to the gynaecologist to get time off work, but this one did.

Time to give up on that fireplace man.... why don't you put in an insert or wood-burning stove of some sort?

People that know a lot better than me, decided that she wants an open fire. We'll probably die of carbon monoxide poisoning in the not too distant future. Will you look after the dogs?
