Thank goodness

I’ve been feeling a bit cheesed off for some reason, I’m not sure why. We had drizzle for most of this morning that meant I couldn’t get stuff out of storage which is what I wanted to do. Best laid plans and all that. The delivery date of the weedkiller I ordered has been put back for some reason so the weeds I strimmed back are having a field day and coming back with a vengeance before I can hit them with it, which is annoying to say the least.

I think what may also be getting at me is that we’ve passed the summer solstice and the summer hasn’t even really properly started. OK, I know that has affected everyone but the stop-start weather has really disrupted my plans and I seem to have been sitting around a lot and marking time for far too long. The other reason for that beside the weather has been the time it’s been taking for things I’ve ordered to be delivered and as well as the weedkiller, I’ve been waiting weeks for the part I needed to service my Savannah to make it flyable again.

Well the good news is that it has at last arrived, see the image below, so as it looks as though we can expect a decent bit of weather, as soon as I’ve emptied the storage I’ll be able to go ahead and do the work on the Savannah.

The other bit of good news is that as I mentioned yesterday, I met up this afternoon with the prospective buyer of my old ‘coffret de chantier’ in Condat on the other side of Montignac and he took it off my hands for my asking price.

His name was Xavier and he is in the same position as I was a couple of years ago, having designed his own house and is now at the stage when he needs to have electricity on site. I’m glad to say that he was very pleased with his purchase and I said that I hope that it works as well for him as it did for me. I’m sure it will.

But thank goodness, the logjam is beginning to break and I can at last begin to see myself moving forward again and getting things done. I don’t mind being idle by choice but I hate having idleness forced upon me 😐
