The fourth place

Mr B still quite often sets a place for TallGirl (and always makes enough food to include her and several others!)

Work proceeds onwards. Biggest excitement today was a delivery for the neighbours with the delivery guy doing some very skilful moving with his crane half in and half out of the (covered) entrance to the courtyard. I went out to applaud.

Bizarrely the French Government have sent me a voucher to help pay my electricity bills. It seems to have been based on a quite low income year a few years ago - and has just arrived automatically without me asking. I supposed I should use it - though I would rather there was a scheme where I could pass it on to someone actually in need.
