More Curtains

Loo Curtains.jpg

Again blessing to Síle’s Auntie Emer, another sheet from Edenderry County Offaly was pressed into service in the Languedoc today.

Their destination was this time the rather unglamerous but essential downstairs loo in Le Presbytere.

There we had the same problems as in the upstairs bedrooms.
The fine linen curtains which preserved modesty during the hours of daylight didn’t provide sufficient opaqueness when the internal lights were lit.

The slightly heavier Irish sheets were brought in to the rescue.
They were dyed first grey ( wrong grey for the French shutters ) then olive green and then cut and machined by Madame to provide perfect elegant curtains which will ensure that daylight lights the room and that modesty is preserved at all times while using the facilities.

    Oh the luxury of having a personal, excellently bred, spell checker.

    It is ok, I think I was out sick the week they did spelling. I don’t know what I would do without the many excellent spellers (electronic or otherwise) in my life.
