Which roughly translated means to have a lot on one’s plate. My Mum and Dad came to visit today, on the way back from their French hangout, and they brought news of the house that my cousin and her husband have bought there.

What a handsome beast. They’re keeping a blog about their progress, which has started with painting all those shutters <does that French gesture of waving hand while blowing out of side of mouth>. The house has recently been used as a sort of hostel for adventure holidays (I think) and so the inside needs a lot of work.

They’re both super-sleuths for stylish junk and handy too, so they’re more than up to it. I think they’ve got their eye on this for something. If you fancy following a big project from the comfort of your armchair check out their blog, here. Bon Chance family!
