La Farge Update No. 1 - Settling in.


My piano feels completely at home at La Farge, it blends right in and to me, it truly was the only thing missing over here. Now that I have my instruments here it is complete paradise. I gave all the different instruments a trial run yesterday and it feels good. Really good.

Right at home.

I drove my stuff here last Tuesday (3rd of July) and Wednesday I put everything neatly in the room I'm going to have as my sleeping+study chamber this summer.

The weather hasn't been what most people would describe as good, but the countryside over here is so extremely gorgeous that that doesn't matter at all. The only thing that rain means is that the whole world smells better and the temperatures are nicer, so that's awesome.

Annelies and Jon, the owners of La Farge are here now as well, which is great. We've been able to make all kinds of plans for the houses together. Seems I'm going to help fix up the roof in September. Looking forward to that, it's always fun to be climbing over and standing on rooftops, and apparently the guy they're hiring who actually knows what he's doing is going to hang up some kind of safety net, so that should be fun as well.

As of actual work done so far, I've mostly just been settling in. We did clean up some gigantic plastic sheets that were protection the atelier from rain and did some aggresive pruning on a kiwi plant that had fallen of the wall, but nothing spectacular.

Talking about kiwis, I had some bad news. Apparently the winter this year has been so cold that noone is getting any fruit this year. That kind of sucks, because I was rather looking forward to making jam and stuff. Ah well, there's still more than a plenty to do, so no biggie.
