Short, Sweet, Simple

Congratulations! Today's the shortest update you've had yet!

Today, as we seem to do most days, we did some weeding, though today we worked both in the garden and on the paths to the guest rooms. We also put up some solid wood fence posts with chicken wire between them to keep the--you guessed it--chickens out of the garden. Also, I helped Christian a bit with the small water fall he made for the pond. We did a couple of other small things, but nothing really noteworthy work-wise. After we were more or less done for the day we went to Sainte Alvère to stop by the cafe briefly, but we didn't run into anyone we know today.

Yesterday we did a ton of weeding around the pool and helped Christian haul some massive stones to the flower beds near the pond so we could add to them. We also loaded up the tractor with a ton of nice soil from the compost heap--Christian has the whole town of Sainte Alvère dump their yard waste in the lot across the street (which is down a slope, so it doesn't look like a mess) and takes his soil from there. In the evening we watched a classic French film, and I tried to work--really, I did!--but to no avail.

Tomorrow, if there's nothing too exciting to write about, I'll try to do some character development (or other exposition) for you, to let you know what it's like here more generally than my daily activities.

A Demain.
