So what did we do today then?

Another not-so-early morning and breakfast, and then Terry did some plastering underneath the kitchen window where the old tiles had been. I had to go to the bank and so I took Liz and showed her where the shops are. We also met one of my neighbours and her daughter and stopped for a good chat. She is thinking about having some tiling done sometime soon and so she'll be coming round to weigh up Terry's attributes.

Liz has carried on with painting the WC and I've been tidying up the 3rd bedroom, emptying the cupboard under the stairs and taking the tiles off the wall in the bathroom. I've been able to take of quite a few in one piece and these I will be using in the Auvergne in what will be my washroom. Waste not, want not.

We hit a little snag though. In the kitchen some of the wiring to the bathroom needs to be buried underneath the tiling and it's not connected up. And furthermore, it's not so easy to see how it should be connected up. So that used up a few hours of work, trying to sort that lot out.

Tomorrow it's shopping again. We need to find some tiles for the bathroom and for the balcony, and I have a couple more bills to pay.
