… 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?<\/p>\n
We have a \u00a0proper 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n
