Day 26

Flying visit from the electrician; he's relocated the offending light cables, and the VMC tube has gone...

I wonder whether we may have lost VMC function in the study for the next month, but that's better than how he started off: that can't be done. We countered with: Jean-Marie & M. Huguenot say it can. He tried: but the plaquistes aren't here to remove the housing. Us: we can do that. Then: but that would mean switching the VMC off. We responded: no problem.

Seems to have taken us at our word!

Because M. Huguenot is on holiday, and J-M hasn't told anyone where the VMC pipe is to go, we've left it at: the pipe can just be left on top of the wall for now.

[Thinking about it, maybe that means the VMC is working in the study?]

Complete absence of SMS; we were expecting a builder to lay the sill for the french window, and plaquistes to finish off the plasterboarding, but I'm not going to start worrying until tomorrow has been and gone without a word...

Sadly, David is now on a train for Paris, and then London.

I miss being spoiled!
