Back from a 3 day jaunt to the new house to take essential bedding, table, chairs, fridge, crocks and paint so we can go and spend 10 days painting rooms before the furniture arrives. Two of the bedrooms have painted blue, white and orange stripes! One day to go down, another to come back and the one in the middle to clean, clean, clean. Exhausting but satisfying.
Checked the teeny weeny solitary clem I found on our last visit and it has doubled in size thanks to being weeded and watered and pep talked. Very pleased with that.
Now to get on with the sorting and prepping and packing and getting rid of unwanted goodies and caring for treasures already potted up for the move. House needs a good clean too.........Didn't hear about the latest attack in France till on the road yesterday. Dreadful.
Amusing item on Belgian radio news tho. They're running a poster campaign to discourage people from littering along in lay-by and rest areas. It shows a pig with a gleeful face leaning out of a recognisable Fiat 500 to dump a bag of rubbish. The slogan asks people not to treat lay-bys like pig sties. Apparently Italians in general and Fiat in particular are up in arms at the insult so Belgium has had to apologise and all the posters will be modified to disguise the Fiat by the end of this week.

It all sounds go, go, go! Hope it all works out well
Obelixx, you weren't the only one to miss the news, I was wondering what funeral they were talking about until someone mentioned the tragic priest. It's all so senseless. Pity they couldn't sort out their differences through sport - maybe soccer or suchlike. Get rid of some of their testosterone poisoning.

Before I go, I didn't get far with the pine cone sketch. Feeling a bit tired after my morning walk.

sleep tight Pat, and keep warm.
Thanks Hosta. Electric blanket on and snuggled under the doors.
