Stunning day here for the first day of June, had a lovely walk along Ruakaka beach for the start of the long weekend, after a week of rough weather.

Lovely. Another wet start to the day here in central France. 11 th year here and this has been the wettest winter and spring we have seen. Itās that bad we have just been talking and re visiting our pre covid plan to move further south and near the coast. We always intended to move before moving back to Blighty as the grandkids arrived and started to grow. Covid took a few years out of the rough plan and we thought stay here longer and then just make the one move. This weather pattern change is making us think again.

Iām very much afraid for fungus / mould. My cellar is wet again. And last but not least, I need sunshine myself. Iāve restarted taking vit D capsules.

The house next door has been empty and unheated for four years , I am having black mould - so have had extractor fan and a small heater going to keep the microclimate on the offending wall as warm and dry as possible.
You have my utter sympathy

I cleaned out our fireplace reconditioning the stone and everything about 5 weeks ago, thinking thatās it until October.
We lit it again last night we were so bloody cold!

Had to dig the little digital space heater out in the cabin yesterday afternoon as it was only 15 degrees in there and that is far to cold for meā¦
My sis in law is pregnant, first kid. They proudly told about a posh merino wool outfit they bought for the unborn.
I couldnāt stop laughing.

Gee the 3rd and 4th day after chemo really knocks me around, once the pre and post drugs wear off itās like a plane crash. I couldnāt lift my head off the pillow on Monday. Much better now thankfully.
Big sporting night here the 1st State of Origin (rugby league) game kicks off tonight and Iām allowed a night out at a friends property for a barbie and watch the game on a big screen.
