Thursday at home



A day at home today, the weather forecast was bad so I decide to tackle some indoor jobs. However it is fine first thing so we walk the dog in the forest and as soon as I get out of the car the sun is shining on this tree, and the light is blinding!
The French word briller is to shine.



A little further on we see plenty of mushrooms and some look like red apples.

A day at home and a fight with the PC


Lots of pictures on the television showing the fireworks for yesterdays fete, nothing happened here in our small village. A lovely sunny start which was not forecast, however not long after a walk in the forest the clouds closed in and nothing remained except grey cloud cover.


A day spent cleaning and gardening. I try to reuse as much water as I possibly can, I think that most houses in France are on a water meter, so I try to make it go as far as possible.
Spent some time in the veg garden I am trying to transplant my young broccoli plants. Spent the rest of the afternoon swearing at the PC for various reasons. Managed to locate some software which enables you to type French accents on a letter with a UK keyboard. Normally this isnt an issue but I was trying to edit MOH's CV so that does need to look right. I cursed Flickr because the system appears to be having some kind of breakdown and refuses to load my pictures. PC's eh dont you just love em!


The picture at the top was taken this morning in the forest and the tree had the most enormous spider webs.

A new garden

"Adopt the pace of nature:
Her secret is patience."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


My blue bench in my garden, creating a garden from scratch, however the old rhododendron tree has been there for many years.
