... quiet" monday was transformed by having to move 2 tonnes of wood into the wood-store. Actually that's 4 tonnes since I needed (a) to pick it off the grass and put in the wheelbarrow and (b) chuck it from the wheelbarrow to the wood-pile. Good exercise!!
In the middle of this, I made a trip to the decheterie with my new trailer laden with off-cuts and had a long chat with Bruno the pool-man about tracing the leak from the swimming pool.
