Jolie

I had to take some pictures for a nice piece of bureaucracy. We are planning to change the windows of the remaining originals. It has come to our notice that we need to do a ‘declaration’- not a ‘permis de contruire’ but it seems like permission to me. Somewhat ridiculous. I could not do the applicaton online as I could not see all that I needed to do. I sent to La Mairie’ and it seems photos are part of the requirements. Already the process is getting on my nerves.

Anyway she said the house looked ‘jolie’. Ans I suppose it does.

Walking and competition

Yesterday we went for a walk – spreading our wings, using information from the Pontivy tourist website again.

This time the walk was centred on Silfiac. A trip of about 11Km. Not as good as the last walk but still has a nice pond.

This weekend was the beginning of the activity competition- traveling from Stuttgart to Glasgow. The young Quirkes, the young Germans and the so-called ‘olds’ of both countries. So there is a momentum now to do more. So the first run in a while this morning:

Moving on

As previously noted the family home has been sold. The settlement is due soon.

The last day is done for us, spent cleaning by someone and packing the car and stuff by someone else.

So just about 20 years to the day.

The view still looks good.

Legs still working

A little more exercise of late. I have done three runs in the last week with three swims in between. The latter because the feet , legs and hips cannot cope with too much these days.

Back on the horse.

EQ in Paris

A couple of weeks ago now- late again. But EQ’s first visit to the world renowned capital, with a contribution from mum.

Friday evening was one of those classic(cheesy?) boat trips on the Seine. But good fun and added entertainment of disagreements amongst the staff!

Eiffel goes by
