Fuzzy Stuff

Blog Entry Tuesday The Day It Might Happen Maybe
That's what the kind lady told MC at the tourist office last week, Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Well, here we are, no joy yet. I reset the Live Box and tested the DSL line via the Live Box installation software...nope.
We spent the morning hanging the cloth over the fuzzy sheet goods I spent part of yesterday installing.
The hanging went well given we had to come up with the method of installation to cram the cloth in the tiny gap between the wooden battens I nailed and glued into place a few days ago. Beat it with a small hammer and a spackling knife. All in all it went well, two walls are up on the top support battens held in place by the battens themselves and a few gluings with hot glue, their sides and bottom yet to be done...tomorrow I guess.
The sun shown this morning while the barometer told a different story entirely, the bottom appears to have dropped out, rain in MY forecast and it came true as the day went on. We drove to Bourges to the Mondial Tissue store and bought out their supply (25 meters worth) of the fuzzy stuff for the fireplace wall and the parlor which is next in the sequence. They looked at us like we were deranged when I told them I wanted the entire roll. They laughed their way thru folding and tying the huge wad so it could be stuffed into our car. The ol' Avensis swallowed it right up, filling the backseat entirely and blocking the view to the rear as well.
Tonight we will have brochettes of Cod with red bell peppers and onions sauted in bacon fat, over saffron seasoned basmati rice with a Lemon Mornay sauce over. Peas with onions on the side. Dropped the Peas...not required as there were enough vegies with the onions and peppers. Was good but not terrific to my taste, no kick.
Kats:
The cease-fire continues into it's 4th day, how long it will last is difficult to determine as neither side is talking. No Lean is posted to the TV room almost continually, Furry wanders the premises unabated curiously peeking about our various work sites to see for furself what we are doing to fur house. At night we sit in the TV/Computer room with whichever kat has taken up residence. Life goes on.
