Painting & getting to know neighbours

Monday 5^th March

We got up reasonably early to a cool but sunny day, and spent morning painting down from roof terrace after cauchoing upper hall ceiling and filling in an old junction box. Lunched at our favourite menu del dia bar and also bought a screwdrivers set to unscrew terracotta lamps to paint behind.

I popped out for an hour after lunch to check business e mails re Bristol house and try and sort out house insurance.

Our neighbours from up the road passed by, and we invited them in to look round, and they were suitable impressed with the house. They then invited us back to their house, which looks about the same as J’s, but turned out to be twice as big with 3 double bedrooms.

We then popped out to a garden centre about 7 pm …J got feet for the sink garden + soil compost + jasmine…but didn’t buy a 6 € bouganvillia for the patio garden.
