Second fast day this week

by Bobshouse on 11 Jun 2014, 06:31

So here we are, another Wednesday and another fast day. I did have vague feelings of eating today but think it was more habit. I am pleased to say my new habit kicked in and I just said no, this is a fast day. I did do a little justifying, I have done one this week, I can do one tomorrow etc but no, I fast today and that is all there is to it!
We have new guests in the Gite which feels weird having become used to the first ones. I have not met them yet as they arrived after I had gone out last night so Peter saw them in. They had not realised we are an hour ahead!
Need to go into the village today for sacks of chicken feed and corn. We have a big farm supplies shop, much cheaper there. Interestingly all the local supermarkets sell sacks of chicken feed!
We have heard of a new English owned brocante ( sort of antique shop) that is fairly local. I like to support expat ventures where possible, knowing how hard it is to run a business here. I also want a linen cupboard to keep the spare Gite linen in. That will keep us out of mischief for the afternoon. Then once home it will be time to prepare dinner and before I know it another fast day will be over!
So life plods on with various little hiccups thrown in, a few small mountains to climb. But there will also be triumphs and happy moments. Generally I feel in control of my life just now, even though I am not physically where I want to be. I know in my heart I will go home and that is what I am working towards. I will have to keep it to myself though as it unsettles others. A friend I told yesterday said to hide the dogs passports as she will take them knowing I will not leave without my boys! Good to know someone cares. So I will keep my plans to myself, apart from you guys of course!

In for repair Monday, Wednesday and Friday
