As the nights are drawing in and the season is coming to a close, things I have idly simply not done, (cos I have been mending the roof etc) are getting more and more important.
Like making a new log store.
Getting more logs in.
Fixing the chainsaw.
Sorting out those blessed thermostats.

Peeps ask if I have a list, yep and it is like that one in the old advert for Jewsons!!:(:(:(
 
They are back this week here, not sure about other areas.
I'll never forget the shock I had when I went with my ex, before we were even engaged, for a week's hol in the West of Scotland but stayed with friends in Glasgie both on the way up and on the way back.
The second time, the morning after, we noticed that everyone in the flat was getting up early and smartly dressed. We asked what was going on, they were all teachers and it was the first day of their term. About the 15th of August.
You could have knocked us down with a feather, that is the middle of the summer holiday darn sarf!
 
My shutters are in fact what other normal peeps think of as curtains.
Mine are just CNC cut plywood that are decorated to match my wallpaper and fit inside the frames of my windows with rubber "grips". We get privacy and a lovely continuation of our Chinoiserie decor. :D
Ah yes, I remember now!
Very nice!
Ours stay open from the evening we arrive until the day we leave.
Most French peeps actually close them at night and open them in the morning, or not, depending on the weather so we are a bit not-normal.
I couldn't stand sleeping in a bedroom where I couldn't see the daylight and the nightlight if that makes sense.
