fifty years of poop followed by a nice slice of cake! 02.02.13
We still have no water and only
one bucket left for the toilet, so it is back to the shops to buy drinking
water, I had forgotten how heavy these are to carry home, it seems an age ago
since we had to buy drinking water and we realise just how far we have got.
John continues with the plumbing
and I have a sort out of the other rooms, the old toilet waste pipes are down,
this is not a nice job, if you are going to do this make sure you wear gloves
and preferably a face mask, also be aware that pipes did not used to be made
from plastic, so this is asbestos and over a fifty years worth of somebody
else's poop, really not a nice job but one that has to be done.
I also go to the patisserie and
buy thank you cakes for Brian. Normally you would buy a bottle of wine as a
thank you gift but it is just not the same in France (mainly because the wine
is so cheap) so cakes tend to be a better thank you gift, I also have to get us
one each as they are just so irresistible.
By late afternoon we have water
again, it is so nice to be able to turn the tap on and to be able to use the
toilet!
We give the new bathroom a coat of
paint, this is so easy with an empty bathroom, we had intended to give it a
second coat but to be honest we are so knackered and it’s getting late that we
decide not to bother and have a lovely supper of the cakes bought earlier, and
yes they taste as nice as they look.
