Just before I started typing this we had the most vicious thunderstorm come sweeping through. Just beforehand I took down the small parasol in my back garden because tomorrow a contractor is coming to dig up my back garden as part of France’s programme to bury electrical cables (yes, I need it right now like a hole in the head, but that’s not what this post is all about) but the large one is still half up over the table and chairs in the front of my house.<\/p>\n
It was being buffeted so much by the wind I was scared that it might get damaged and the table and chairs were (and are) so wet that I wish now that I’d taken that down too, while it was still dry, as both parasols will soon need to be transported over to Fleurac and be erected outside the caravan.<\/p>\n
I’ve just checked the weather forecast and rain, sometimes in large quantities, is projected for the whole of next week. I’m now beginning to despair somewhat. I’ve moved house several times in my life and every time it’s been in the rain. And it looks like this time is to be no exception, despite the time of year and the marvellous weather we’ve been having up to now. I want to move everything out of my house and into storage by next week-end if possible, which means shifting it during the coming week. I’d also like then to be able to move the caravan onto my land in Fleurac.<\/p>\n
Beyond garden stuff, I can’t think of much else that I can shift in an open trailer in the rain. I always intended to hire a van to move my household furniture and other items anyway, but it now looks as though I’ll need to carry much more in it, meaning that I’ll probably have to hire it for longer. And it also looks as though what I do carry in it, I’ll be loading in the rain… \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
