That's what we do...clean. It goes on and on. between the dust, cob webs, mouse and rat droppings it's ALL you really CAN do! The winter of Deep Freeze last year (2012) must have killed off a major portion of the feral kat korps hereabouts because though we have put food out for them...alas it is still there days later. Good for the birds and mice and rats...not so good for Maison Blanche. My kitchen was a complete disaster! They (the rodent horde) took up residence in my little larder...eating what they could easily open (most dried pasta, rice, flour, oats) and when that ran out they took to consuming labels off of cans and bottles they couldn't easily open. Besides that they used the cupboard (larder) for pissing and pooping to a depth of about 3/4 of an inch (25mm) or so everywhere they could. YUK! YUK! YUK! Awful smell like a bad barn or a bats cave. That's what I've been doing, cleaning that mess and making it useful again.
The car saga goes on as well. As you know we hit a damned deer two years ago and we then promptly left for home. The local garage was summoned to do the work, he furnished an estimate of about 1900 bucks which is just about what I though it'd be. It all starts on the 10th of June. In the meantime the damned thing has developed a charging problem that has been remotely diagnosed by my ex-student Daniel "Gadget" Bordeau as a bad alternator. So this week sometime when I feel like going through the pantomime that is naming things I do not know the French word for (my lovely French speaking daughter Audrey said it was "Un alternateur") and affixing that reference to another object (Voiture...CAR). It will be fun.
Let's see...some pics now for the viewing audience.
