Good news! I have my horizon again!



The maize has been cut 3 weeks before last year, what a relief (un soulagement). I came back from Paris the day before yesterday at 7pm to hear a terrible noise just in front of the house. It was the combine harvester (la moissonneuse batteuse) cutting the maize.



I was so pleased in spite of (malgré) the noise. The next day they came back to finish and I was between two lots of noises: there was the combine harvester, two tractors and two trucks on one side and the wine press on the other. What a noise! A lot worse than (pire que) Paris where I had just come from. And they say the country is calm!

This is one of the four towers of the National Library built by François Mitterand. It is high, severe and cold - inside too. Not a very nice place - and apart from the bookshop, you don't see one single book! And you have to pay four euros to read the newspapers. Not my idea of a library.
