Château Smith being rather damp, the paint doesn't stick to the walls for long, and when we'd a foot of snow on the roof terrace, the damp got through a bit from above as well. Martyn has slapped a lot of paint on the downstairs and shower room walls, and I've stripped the paper off the ceiling of the latter. We have a couple of rolls of spare paper from when we did the second bedroom. Stand by for the wailings of a reluctant DIY decorator.
On Monday morning I went and knocked on the door of a local handyman to ask whether he did phone lines. He came round there and then, did a temporary fix to verify that he'd found the right pair, then returned to do a proper one. 30€. With elegant symmetry, I then found that the iPad wasn't charging, and found that the lightning cable was damaged. The phone shop at the supermarket up the road furnished a replacement, though at an eye-watering price. Oh well.
