Before (these were taken in 2016 so were at its best then):<\/p>\n\n\n\n After:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, he has chosen a new, moodier, colour scheme rather than the stark white walls that were there before. This will be more calming for the yoga and pilates that he is increasingly doing.\u00a0 One of the biggest changes is a new rubber flooring that we have laid which is a vast improvement on the previous uneven concrete floor which needed frequent painting.\u00a0 All he is waiting for are 2 additional mirrors to add either end of the 4 existing ones to complete that wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The gym took all my spare time 2 weeks ago but was completed.\u00a0 Unfortunately, last week has been a lot less productive and, mostly due to the un-seasonably damp weather, I haven\u2019t been able to make any progress on what I wanted to do \u2013 which is lots and lots of hedge cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What I did complete was the final garage door to enclose the north garage bay and I\u2019m really pleased with the job.\u00a0 I\u2019d hoped that having made 3 doors previously, the last would be the easiest. However, frustratingly, when it was hung for the first time, there was a much larger gap at the top than I wanted and as a result, it didn\u2019t look right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thankfully, I have been able to attach an additional piece of wood and with the vertical bands you can barely see the join, and it looks great.\u00a0 The doors have used the additional planks that were taking up space in the central bays so now there is no excuse for me not clearing these out and then clearing our driveway \u2013 except of course for the multiple other projects that I need to undertake \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember the image below which will be the back drive and petanque pitch area \u2018before\u2019 image to make a comparison against when I have done the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have been delighted to have all of our g\u00eetes full for many weeks this summer including last week when we really felt for our guests as we could hardly call the weather ‘summery’.\u00a0 My plans to give all the hedges one of their annual cuts made no progress as I am also always conscious of making too much noise at anti-social times.\u00a0 Thankfully, next week\u2019s forecast is looking much better and our guests seem to enjoy getting out and about a lot so I will be able to make some good progress (hopefully!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The better weather arrived today and we awarded ourselves a day off and visited Roscoff for lunch.\u00a0 It seems that lots of people were making the most of the first hot, dry day for a while as the city was bustling with visitors.\u00a0 We like visiting Roscoff which is a compact and pretty little city and we ate in a restaurant<\/a> that we really enjoy and used a bit more frequently pre-pandemic.\u00a0 The terrace of the restaurant overlooks the channel and \u00cele de Batz which is a great view, even with the tide out as today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next week with the dry weather, hedging and garden work \u2013 then back to the garage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salut.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was not my intention to have another 2-week gap between blogs and I wanted to show you the result of my efforts in David\u2019s gym last Sunday.
