How To Get A Treadmill Upstairs

The "little" month of February 2010

------------------------------------------ --------------

Every month of February are "calendar" small, but the 2010 has been our little "full".

Yet, this month began with the biggest event that St. Jean du Gard has been known for decades. We have indeed found several hundred (perhaps 500) to march in the streets of the village refuse to close a nursery school (from 3 to 2) because of estimating a shortfall in September 2010 to keep 3 classes, 2 children.


NB: It is true that it is important to cut corners everywhere to come to eliminate 8000 positions with teachers.


For Canton, the great thing is obviously the ongoing construction of the terrace Cantou. Overall, everything is fine but the "mood" of time (change from one day to the next good weather and rain) have hampered the progress of work, mainly the tiler who absolutely need certainty of 2 consecutive days without rain.
To date, the terrace is almost complete. They only missing tiles, and therefore also the finalization of plaster (of the bottom: columns, ceiling and floor-ceiling banner).
Photovoltaic panels installed, but the association with the electric meter is not done yet (this is done, ERDF will then make the connection to the network, and then we can see our daily production).

Overall, we like the result very much, because this "outgrowth" fits very well into the landscape and setting of the farmhouse.


February every year is also the month of the anniversary of Luke, which this year was worthily celebrated in Montpelier. But what's more, if the couple reversed 46 to 64 happen once.

There were of course also the half term holiday when we had the pleasure of receiving Taté and Lyonnais. And that for the first time, Jane has managed only in a "big city" (3 days in the apartment Taté while it was in Canton, but Liliane and cousins were close and she often went home for lunch).


Finally, between days of rain, we started to refurbish the garden and its surroundings with the hunt last leaves and cleaning the fire.
