A big brave girl


The vet in Quissac did a good job with Minnie's recent op and through our judicious use of t-shirts, Min (front above) has left the wound alone and it has healed nicely. This morning we popped her to the vet to have the stitches removed. She was a star, lying there quietly as the stitches were pulled. We were very proud parents!

My Italian auntie told me a long time ago that the weather in Italy deteriorates after 15th August, and I believe that there is a similar belief in France. Well, as soon as the 15th had finished, after midnight last night, it rained, and it hasn't rained for ages. Kinda spooky, n'est ce pas?

Bryan and Gill came round this afternoon to help fix wiring across the terrace so that we can string up some lighting for the wedding and discuss general wedding details. With the longest length at 11 metres, we needed to consider a little sagging (we're not talking about you are we? - Ed.) so we used fence tensioners to get it nice and tight. Bryan then fixed a tap which had been leaking since Spring. Thanks Bryan.
