Sleeping

he found a bag lying half open on the bedroom floor, crawled in and slept for hours as we started the cleaning process in readiness for the off on Saturday. I found him after lugging the horrid Dyson upstairs and had to leave it in case he was disturbed. They have a steam mop here for the tiled floors, the best mop I have come across, not sure I fancy it for the wooden floors at home but brilliant here with the ground floor tiled throughout. It certainly made a difference.

Yesterday was very hot, we soaked it up - the memory as well as the actual - lots of sun cream, never used so much, but silly me didn't do the washing. Today damp and grey with a hint of sunshine although fingers crossed the washing will dry.

We are leaving Brittany on Saturday, the owners will return in the evening, I hope by Saturday morning we only have to do a light clean in readiness for them. That, collecting windfalls and some weeding have been our self appointed tasks, the brief was to look after 'the dog' and the beautiful pusscat. A real pleasure.
