Popular Post clochette Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Posted June 30, 2020 Hi all, I hope you're all doing well and a for you my Sexy Lumberjack. First real day of holiday here. We took the car and followed the "cliffs path", a path going alongside the cliffs with nice little beaches all the way, it can also be done by feet. We then stopped on the Bonaparte beach - where French resistance was spending back English paratroopers - where we walked in the sea and had lunch and got sunburned (for our defense it was very cloudy in the morning). This afternoon we continued toward the pink granite coast, had a terrific ice cream and a nice walk. We had a nice dinner overlooking the boats and tiny islands. It rained when we left the restaurant but it was a very good day. With my glasses the sunburn on my face makes me look like Rudolph the reindeer... 1 5 1

Two reasons: It would suit the age of the house, and also match the staircase, A dark stain, rather than a light one, would probably cover up any imperfections, scratches, and chips, etc, that the wood may have suffered over time. 6

Marty Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 4 hours ago, Headstall said: Hey, all. Had a lousy night... spent the morning at the ophthalmologist because I had sudden onset of floaters and lightning. There were no tears or detachment, so he's not too concerned. He gave me drops that are still affecting my vision so I think I will lay down for a while... I am so relieved... I might be stuck with this for a while, but the lightning might disappear in a few days if I'm lucky. One of the many benefits of aging. Hope it all clears up reasonably quickly, Gary. 3 1

Cloudy or not tomorrow, pack sun cream before you head out. 5

Although it may be as well if I were to post progress pictures as different jobs get finished. There's that much needs doing, I may never get everything finished. 3 2

I didn't pack the soothing cream as I had packed the sunscreen I'm lucky enough that it does t actually burn, it's just warm and a bit tickling, it'll probably turn into a tan in a few days 6

Yeah, it's flashes of light when your eyes moves... really disturbing... makes me feel ill. Can be a sign of detached retina, but my retina is okay. Google 'floaters and lightning,' and you can get an explanation. As long as it doesn't get worse my eyes are likely going to be okay. 1 2 2
