Eau de froid

Well...just got the house instructions.  To quote from the list:  The water heater only heats during the following periods:  2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and midnight to 5 a.m........
So I guess we shower early...or late...or in luke warm water????  And quick, as it is a 150 liter tank.
Life is an adventure to be lived.....and I have a feeling we will have quite an adventure.
We also have the address now........so we can find the street and google the exact location.  Ain't science wonderful?????

Four weeks to go

Well.....all's well that seems to be well.  We have the first part of the trip planned out.....getting to our house on April 25.  There are some stops along the way...visiting friends and soon to be friends.
On the homefront, a lot of work to be done.  Still have a wall or two to paint.  The new alarm system is up and running, just have to remember the code or it blares loudly.  Still working on the French lessons......but the mind is not as absorbing as it used to be.
Now we have to rent a car.....sounds easy, but nothing is easy for me!  Rates to compare, coverage costs, getting insurance....lots of decisions.
I am a little nervous..... but I get nervous about a lot of things.
