So yesterday I was so pleased to have had my first jab and to be feeling fine. Later last night things changed. I am hoping that by tomorrow I will be back to normal. I was fine all evening then as I stood up to go to the bathroom before bed, I came over shiveringContinue reading “Counting chickens…”

Today has been dominated by having a covid jab. However I have managed some other things too. Including the very boring job of re-winding yarn! We both overslept this morning, we were obviously both really tired yesterday. Tulips, beach, picnic and market were probably too much! As a result very little was done this morningContinue reading “Three become one!”

Apologies but I am absolutely exhausted this evening, so I won’t be writing much. A group of us went to see the tulip fields at Torc’h today. We rode the petit train, all 7 of us and 5 dogs and saw the flowers. Afterwards we went for a picnic on a nearby beach. The dogsContinue reading “Tulips from …. Torc’h”

Mondays tend to be a bit odd here. Often I think that I will start the week with gusto to find that what I wanted to get on with isn’t possible. Strangely the banks are all closed every Monday, yes really, and so things that are financially related can get complicated. Given that it isContinue reading “Time for a c(h)at?”

In both France and the UK the clocks moved forward last night. I tend to find that whilst I really appreciate the lighter evenings, I find the first week or so difficult to adjust to. What I do, do though is try and change as many watches and clocks before I go to bed soContinue reading “Spring forward”

I knew that my other half was going to be out for much of the day today. He was going to a builders’ merchants in Brest which is about an hour away. He was picking up a click and collect order as well as getting additional items. He was also picking up a friend toContinue reading “Where does the day go?”

Earlier in the week I briefly mentioned that I had been to the local dechetterie with my husband. Whilst recycling is on the up in the UK here it is a way of life. Dechetteries or the tip, is organised quite differently and linked to resourceries where items are given a new lease of life.Continue reading “Dechetteries and Resourceries”

Earlier today I was wondering what I might write about this evening. I was not having an exciting day, chores and shopping, not the fun sort. Then I had a phone call. I have two sim cards in my mobile, one which is my UK number and one for my French number. Before I answerContinue reading “A phone call”

Last night I had a stall at Quinoualc’h market. With the curfew being pushed back to 7pm we were able to be open longer and it felt as though less people came but I don’t think that was necessarily the case. Instead people came across all three hours rather than the two. I got myContinue reading “Pantoufles, a lazy day and sunburst granny squares.”

So given that I am off to market this afternoon I thought that I would get some boring but necessary jobs done today. I thought that these would be achieved quickly and without many problems. Oh how wrong I have been. Our house in the UK finally completed last week. Whilst it sold for considerablyContinue reading “Internet banking, technology and other such joys”
