... and it's really difficult to adapt to the new conditions. Running water, proper bathroom and kitchen, central heating, a comfortable bed. How can I possibly survive?
We have a proper bathroom and kitchen thanks to Liz who has performed heroics today in making this place fit for heroes. And I also have room to sleep properly, a dining table and chairs and a comfortable sofa thanks to some rather thorough sifting of a huge pile of old and manky paperwork from heaven alone knows when. Terry has been making plans and projects for the work that will be needed, and that resulted in a trip to the shops.
The traffic was difficult to adapt to as well - there isn't traffic like this in the Auvergne. And there aren't the queues in the carparks either. And neither are the ridiculous prices. No wonder I moved down there when my income dried up. I could never have survived here.
The tidying has come to something of a halt though - we have filled up all of the containers in the waste room. We shall have to wait for the concierge to start back to work on Monday before we can take any more rubbish downstairs. But not to worry. There's plenty of other things to be going on with.
