Hubby's application for social security number/Carte Vitale sent. Now, we wait - how long, nobody knows!

Cleo, Coco and Teddy enjoying a box - completely ignoring the wheel that came inside it for them!
i’ve only just realised as we close in on the evening that today is #NationalBuyABookDay i humbly suggest this book as being available to buy in preparation for spooky season if you haven’t yet decided on which book to buy 😁 linktr.ee/lauracelliott
Been to prèfecture for hubby's fingerprinting. Also our 6th wedding anniversary today - which we forgot about until SiL sent us a congratulatory text! We tend to celebrate the longer one - which will be 25yrs in Decmber!

Out to a fête de vente at Mt Bessou. We'veclimbed the viewing tower before it gets too hot, watched a bit of archery a d some funs radio controlled planes, and now awaiting a display of birds of prey!
Happy #Caturday from Teddy who has learned how to balance on, and pounce on his siblings, the bannisters this week!
Just ordered a load of hedging plants & some brassicas, onion and garlic sets for over winter in the potager. Would normally do the brassicas from seed, but been a bad year for getting out and starting seeds off. The garden really is coming along quite nicely now though, despite the heat & no rain 😊
At the vet with Aldo (suspected asthma) where this very good boy mans reception
Thanks to the assistance of the brilliant @wombledondog.bsky.social hubby finally has a RDV for fingerprinting for his CdS - third time lucky!
Late entry for #caturday comes from Teddy. He's a big lad, and takes no nonsense - but he still needs his emotional support fluffy ball!
Well, shattered now, but been a lovely day. Lunch in Limoges and then bike race!
Had a nice few hours down at the fête. Had to give up because of the heat and come home, but we finally made it!!
Am clean and dressed in the hope we might finally make it to the village fête day (5th summer here and not got there yet!)... but it's hot and I'm shattered, so not sure if we'll make it or not!
Locksmith here. Checking it over. Says we should be able to claim on house insurance with his invoice and one for doors as less than 10 years, as we weren't able to get hold of installer (august, naturally!) which is a bit of a relief.
And, the joys of finding an artisan in August commence... Turns out locksmiths are in short supply locally, and most are carpenter/joiners, and all so far ar on ruddy congés. Earliest I've managed to find is 18th August, and he's currently in hospital poor mam!
Anyone had any experience with French locksmiths? Are they as expensive as UK ones? Our front door has decided it no longer wants to even shut ans have tried everything I know how to do, and it being august there's no way the carpenter who installed it will come out/answer my emails!
Went for a gentle meander to Aubusson today. Enjoyed a delicious rib of Limousin beef and a lush red wine 😋😊
Exciting developments, email from county council pension service, wanting an update of my contact details. Didn't think there were any pensions hiding anywhere as my work history was so patchy, so am tentatively quite excited!!
