Other then a minor issue of realising whilst in the line to checkin for our flight from London to Toulouse that we were meant to be on the flight the day before - everything went very smoothly. And everything was fine back at home - the horses had been well fed and looked after by Goldy's mum although it did take me a couple of days to pick up all the poo they had created in three weeks!
Paul has been sanding and painting all the plasterwork in our bedroom and ensuite this past week. Makes such a mess so lots of cleaning up has followed. But it's all looking good - we have the oak flooring for the bedroom already but Paul wants to tile the bathroom first so it will have to wait. We also have some visitors for the next few weeks so not sure how much will be achieved in the immediate future but that's ok. It will happen - I am convinced of it!
We have finally had some rain since coming home. Unfortunately whilst we were away there was little to none and had been very hot still so everything is rather dry and dusty. There is rain forecast for nearly every day this week though so hopefully that kick starts the grass before it starts being too cold for it to grow.
In other general news Gabi has finally got herself settled in London - she has a job in a trendy nightspot in the centre of London and found a share room in a house not too far out on the tube - living with about 6 other people from all over the world including a couple of Australian boys. It sounds messy and rather unhygienic but lots of fun for her.
I have been suffering this week from what looked like big red insect bites on my torso which I have now found out are from something minuscule that lives in the autumn grass and gets into your clothes - apparently after about 10 years you can build up an immunity to them! I guess in the meantime I will just have to put up with them - or stay out of the paddocks - which is a bit difficult with three horses to feed and pick up after..
