Crumbly bits

 

The builders have been, and I think we're now less of a threat to passers-by.  I'm sure the lawyers would do well out of an argument whether victims had been killed on municipal land or that of our neighbour, whose title runs into the middle of the street.  Good that they got the work done in less than a day - we'd been expecting two full days. 

I spent a shortish time at the Mairie this morning, handing in the numerous photographs required by the administration in support of my application to make the village look a bit less worse.

Meanwhile, I should probably offer to help the village prepare its application for accreditation as one the the 'Villages les plus merdoyés de l'Europe'.  To deal with the problem, they issue a decree.  Rather as with building permits, they dictate and fail to enforce.  Amazing, how often 'Paciência' comes into play hereabouts.
