ol, it's day 4 but i tought i'd confuse the issue cos it's more fun that way.
Saturday evening a 1 of Claire's best friends came to vist. 1st time I met her & I'm really glad. I knew B'd be lovely as Claire's very selective & her close friends r marvellous good people. We had a brill evening celebrating birthdays & went to bed very late after chatting for ages.
Yesterday was chilled. Jef & Claire vanished to the workshop for hour or so & reappeared brandishing a brand new chair they'd just made. It's 1 of those Africa style chairs & looks like an X if viewed sideways. It's basically 2 well cut planks of wood, the back-rest plank with a hole & the seat plank with a T bar which slots into that hole. And VOILA! a chair, which Tristan immediately tried out & adopted. Today Jaf's taken it 2 work 2 sand & polish. I hope I sound adequately impressed.
Mum left 8ish this morning to go back to Bayonne, a good 7 hour drive without the breaks, taking Guy with her. I knew he'd go the moment I booked our tickets over here. He doesn't have a return flight... I guess he'll b back up here sometime & will eventually find his way back 2 Walsall. Your guess is as good as mine.
Today, Claire, Tristan & I have been pulling faces at my phone camera and chattin & chillin. Oh & we'v been speakin English 2 Tristan, who of course doesn't answer much apart from French but seems 2 enjoy it as a game.
No sign of dead birds falling from the sky so far! Pray that stays so.
Oh and the stormy wind has stopped, so outside has gone quiet and still again.
