always a balancing act

manu lays tiles

Manu is the man with all the tricks; he lays Italian carrelages with smooth suavité and precision. This area at the back of the wineshop will not only extend the wineshop towards the new courtyard, but also house a kitchenette and a corner private toilet.
The next stage? Grouting the tiles, painting the walls and ceiling and then the fun starts. Again. Installing yet another kitchen means I will be in my element once more.

There comes a time when you think what on earth have we started? It has not stopped:  the work goes on and on relentlessly.  But friends remind me to stop and look back. See what has already been achieved! How wonderful! What an achievement it is! You lucky people!

Luck? It has nothing to do with luck! Only with hard labour. Sure, the list of tasks is getting shorter, but it still stretches and is at least a meter long. The projected opening of the new wine-garden has been moved up to September!
