Covering the walls...

Blog Entry Wednesday 30 April, 2008
Rainy and cool, windy too...shit weather, mucky. There's a music event downtown at L'Halle this afternoon, we will go with an umbrella. It's the annual fete du Bain Douche (our event location in town about three blocks away), many musical acts that come from far and wide, well...not so wide I guess, France mainly and maybe they visited some other place before or might have even come from there for all I know but...you get the picture. Not pricey, generally under 20E a seat or less, always some freebee performances held at various locations about the village which always attract a crowd. It starts today and runs through the weekend. We have plans to attend all the free ones as we spent PLENTY at the Pretemps Du Bourges a couple of weeks ago.


This is my Lignieres_Weather Cam image just a few minutes ago, typical morning traffic as the commuters rush off to coffee...oops work. Looks out the TV/Computer Room window towards the
northwest. Ah Lunch hour is but 4 hrs from now then 2 hrs off to think about the rest of the day. Hmmm.
3 pm, still no DSL with the clock winding down on the France Telecom workday. Nothing ever is as promised with FT. What a way to run a business. It is now 9:58pm, many resets and attempts to configure the long lost DSL service brings nothing but the blinking INTERNET light. I saw an ad today in the old Connexion newspaper for an all English DSL service for 29 bucks a month, maybe I'll give them a call tomorrow.
We spent much of today working on the old waiting room, new fabric on the walls except for over the fireplace which we will do tomorrow. Then I begin the build of the bookcase.
Kats: Interlopers in the form of ferals, also known as terrorists, or insurrectionists are using the courtyard for secret meetings and attempts to enlist one or the other of or Kats in their own causes. So far Furry has been singled out for rough treatment as she fails to attend their meetings and doesn't supply food or drink to the cadre which now includes Long Tail, Sammy, Blackie and at least two others whose names we don't know. The Barn is their hideout at least we know that much. Their goal? The take over of all kibble supplies, both Kat and Dawg with the long term goal of trading the Dawg food for Kat food and cooperative Dawgs. That's all I know now, more to come.
