One last shot of the little house we rented in Vouvray. As I mentioned, the house was sold, along with the manor house across the street where the owner lived, not long after our 2001 stay. Since then, it's a private home.
This morning is apparently the coldest we will have in this little wintry spell. The electricity folks are asking people to cut back their usage this morning to help reduce demand. It seems that a number of the country's nuclear generators are off-line for various reasons. We normally run appliances like the dishwasher, clothes washer, and water heater in the off-peak night hours, so there's nothing else we can do there. Most of the lights in the house are LED, so turning them off doesn't help much, either. I was planning to make pizza for lunch. The oven is electric. Uh-oh.
Nice looking place!
ReplyDeleteI hope it warms up soon and that you can have pizza soon.
ReplyDeletewhat sort of pizza?
ReplyDeleteYou could always roast some vegies at the same time that the pizza is baking! That might placate the regulators!!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the nuclear plants being offline. I wonder if they are worried about hacking by the Russians?
ReplyDeleteThat’s an interesting thought, Kiwi!
DeleteAs I recall, the house is not as small as it looks!
