I finished the weeding in front of the house this evening and I can actually see the pathway that I laid out all those years ago.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the table and chair too, on the terrace thingy made of old pallets with an old tarpaulin underneath it. And wasn&#8217;t it lovely sitting on there to eat my butty at lunchtime, and even to eat my potato and lentil curry tonight?<\/p>\n<p>All of the weeds, by the way, were pulled up by hand. Huge handfuls of the stuff. That was the hard bit<\/p>\n<p>And can you see the herbs in their pots in front of the verandah? They really are going berserk and if I can have three or four days of dry weather I&#8217;ll cut them back and bring them up here to dry like I did last time.<br clear=\"both\"><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not all I&#8217;ve done either. I weeded the path that led down to the greenhouse and I&#8217;ve also weeded in front of the barn by the entrance to where <a href=\"http:\/\/www.erichall.eu\/ebro.html\">the Ebro<\/a> is stored. <\/p>\n<p>I can now open and close the garage door.<\/p>\n<p>As well as that, I&#8217;ve filled a few more bags of rubbish ready to go to the <em>dechetterie<\/em> at Pionsat tomorrow and while doing that I found the vertical-axis wind turbine that I bought a year ago and promptly forgot all about.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s currently stuck on the roof of Caliburn, held on by its magnetic mounting, but I will have to think of a more permanent way to attach it. <\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s lovely being able to walk around in the garage part of the barn now, and I&#8217;ve not finished in there yet either. I&#8217;ve not found a roll of wire netting though, and I know that there&#8217;s one in there somewhere that I bought on my travels.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I was up and about before the alarm and I spent 4 hours on the computer. I&#8217;m cracking on with these web pages but I&#8217;m only a couple of days from Qu\u00e9bec and that&#8217;s something that will slow me down a little.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-202 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='202' data-nonce='d70c296104' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-202 lc'>+1<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-202 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='202' data-nonce='d70c296104' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-202 unlc'>-5<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-202 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; probably won&#8217;t be all that significant to most of you but it certainly will be to Liz and Rosemary because they have seen the front of the house since I came back.
