Wednesday 17th February 2010 – The sky this morning …

 snow site ornithologique st gervais d'auvergne puy de dome france
… was magnificent. There were plenty of heavy grey clouds meaning that everything was in superb relief and it’s a pity that I am decent-cameraless right now as the Fuji can’t do justice to the situation. It’s impossible to get a decent zoom onto the Puy de Dome from my favourite spot near St Gervais.

We all were in St Gervais to open a bank account for our property empire. The bank was exceedingly helpful and did it without any difficulties although yet another rainforest was sacrificed. The manager gave us a few handy tips about creating a Limited Company-type of affair.

We also discussed the scaffolding hire and the cheques-service (you’ll be hearing more about these in due course) and it is just so complicated. You need to create so many different types of enterprise to do all of what we want to do. No wonder there is so much “black economy” in France – I think that most people have good intentions but they are simply submerged in red tape so they give up.

After lunch ( a Liz-special lentil soup) I rescued the Sankey trailer and then went round to Claude’s with Terry to do another leg of this removal. By now the rain was p155ing down and much of the snow has gone and I’m up to my knees in morass again.

Next moving day is Friday so tomorrow I’ll be doing some more on my wall.
