Saturday morning was another "vide grenier", boot sale, in Grenade sur l'Adour not far from here. We left home in the sunshine but when we got down there it was quite misty and cool. Not the best boot sale that we have been to but interesting to look around. We bought a couple of fire irons for our open fire-place, we did have some at Carol but they got left behind. There is lots of wood here that needs burning so it will be nice to have an open fire when it gets cold. I rang the central heating place up last week as we need to have the boiler serviced before we turn it on. Still waiting for them to ring me back and make an appointment. Talking of appointments, we had another quote for the double glazing yesterday. Definately a possibility depending on the price. A local firm down in Aire sur l'Adour, we have to wait until next week for the quote.
Sunday morning we went over to Lily and Arthurs' and then went on with them into Mont de Marsan where there was an exhibition of fungi given by the group I went out with last week. They had certainly found a lot more this week than when I went out with them! Of course we had a lot of rain followed by hot sun which is just what the fungi need. The people that I had met the previous week were very friendly, despite the English beating the French in the semi-finals of the rugby world cup the previous night!
