Progress!

I guess I’m a day late and a dollar short. I thought yesterday was Thursday!!

I’m moving across the street on Monday, still in Rogny, but now I’ll be living on my own. The neighbors left for Brittany for their annual vacation and I’ll be watching the chickens and watering the plants. Now I just have to worry about my dogs killing chickens instead of cats. Ayayay! Two of them (the neighbors) have serious underlying health issues, so we’ve been distancing and I’m wiping down my rooms. I’ll still make dinner for Susan and visit out on her lovely patio every evening, while during the day, I’ll have plenty of opportunity to quietly ponder my uncertain future.

My French dog mule has sent her passport for renewal, so that’s underway. I’ll probably make a reservation soon to come back, but it may have to be “flexible” because we have to wait for her new passport to arrive.

In the meantime, I’ve decided to go back to Begur for a few weeks before leaving for the US. An apartment in my same complex is available! Yeah! And, incredibly, it has even better views than the last one. This apartment is upstairs from my old one and on the end of the building, so it has unobstructed views of the mountains and the coast north of Begur. I’m very excited about driving back “home” although I will be a little sad to leave my friend and the village of Rogny. It’s been such a lovely place to be for almost two months. I’m feeling at home here and sentimental about it.

But this is my spot!! (Below)

PS: Sorry for Lake Charles, but so so glad Galveston dodged the bullet of Hurricane Laura!! It would have been ironic and sad if, now that I’m sort of homeless, I lost my only real home.

So, I have some progress for now, and hopefully I can report on real plans soon. Fingers crossed!

  2. I am really really happy for you, Not only for having the opportunity to return to your apartment building in Begur and even spend a nice amount of time there, but also that your time in France with Susan turned out to be so enjoyable and so meaningful. Even if you do have to contend with chickens with underlying health conditions I think this whole trip gone awry has turned out pretty meaningful all around. Bravo, Susie. Now I guess we’ll see what comes next!

  3. Great. You will love chickens if you allow yourself and are nice to them. My friend had Margaret Hatcher and Featherfeet And others equally amusingly named and monitored with a coop-cam, I kid you not and yes she has no children) and they were delightful.
    The kids are all jealous of your return to paradise but of course they don’t know of the underlying stress of the Visa ( which I haven’t mentioned)
    So keep up the blogs very entertaining and I’ll talk soon
