Didn't sleep worth a damn last night, typical complaint of old age pensioners isn't it? Then about 5am Furry decided it was high time that I rise to her food need and the proper mounding of the diminished supply currently available. We were going to buy some yesterday (kibble) but did not...so this morning was the shock (for HUR Magesty) of a less and volumous bowl, a middling hillock instead of the mountain of her desires and it was MY turn to do this deed apparently. As you know I usually DO the DO-DO end business, but lately Kelly has taken that on as well, why I do not know but I'm not going to ask. So Furry has deemed me available for mounding of kibble at 5am in trade of duties.
So up and coffeed this morning we got busy finishing the kitchen floor project. Once the asbestos tile was removed, the wallpaper steamer worked wonders to loosen the quite cured adhesive that held it. Foot by foot, apply steam, scratch with a wire brush, mop up the loosened glue move steamer and repeat. Thank God that it was a small room...only about 75 sq. feet Still it took us since last week to get it done. It's all a rose colored cement now with a slight gloss that goes well with the wallpaper we will be applying next.
Le Tour Du France fills my afternoons these days and we have 10 days left. Now in the mountains of the south of France each day saps the riders more than the last, exhaustion is showing more and more with each stage. It's nice not having a dominate rider this year, many teams have had their turn winning stages so each is a surprise and very exciting to watch as they charge the finish line. Quite a spectacle!
Tomorrow is the annual Brocante at the Champ du Foire across the street from us, it'll be a human zoo with more baby clothes and rusted tools than any 3 other brocantes in the area. We will go early and host our friends as they visit and spend their hard earned monies buying things we no longer want or need. We have ENOUGH! It's purely and upgrade buying task for us these days. We are half way through our stay now and planning a 5 day 4 night stay in Paris to revisit sites we want to see again, it'll be a ball. Paris is FUN!
