Thursday 11th October-Gien

We had to drive into Gien to the Auchan to pick up the vacuum cleaner which must be ready by now.Drove through Briare directly to the store as we were are now able to find our way around much better.
Needless to say that they had phoned the house and had written a letter saying it was ready to be picked up but somehow or another we didn't get the messages. It all worked out so we had a look around then drove off to the Intermarche to buy some food and make our way home. A much better day with the sun shinning and getting up to 20C so we wanted to sit in the garden and maybe do some weeding.
Jean Michel our sometimes neighbour(Moniques husband)dropped by to say thank you to me for getting a message to his family the other day, he thought it was all quite funny about my mix up and thought my French was improving(?)
Some days just everybody visits for the builder and his wife then turned up to see how we were and wanted to know where we were going to leave the key when we leave so they can come in and put some heat on in the house for V & G return.
