Decisions, decisions

Day 5 of confinement and all is well. Yesterday was a gorgeous sunny day, 22°c with bright blue skies. We made the most of it and enjoyed our lunch outside in the garden, where the braver of the roses are still holding onto their late blooms, whilst most have given into the vibrant red rose hips. We chose a good position in the corner, looking over the vineyards that had all but nearly lost their leaves, and feeling the warmth of the late Autumn sun. I really did not expect to be having days like that in November. I just spent the day pottering around in the garden, whilst Brian worked on the stairs.

Today the temperature dropped again to around 12°c, Brian doesn’t seem to mind though, he is just enjoying working on the stairs and getting a great result with the oak and beech. I have been trying to organise a French mobile phone for us, but it is proving a little challenging. We are with Orange for our broadband and landline, so I had hoped it would be easy to add a mobile phone contract on. But I’m being very indecisive, which is unlike me. The packages seem to vary immensely, and I’m very conscious of the small print. I think I need to sleep on it, then show Brian, then we will make a decision.

The other thing I’ve been considering is which saucepans to buy. Whilst Brian was working in London he’d seen some British made saucepans in Nesbits, which I’m thinking could be an option. I’m just waiting to hear from the makers Samuel Groves if they will ship to France.
