The carpet is dead!

Great. Invest in an apartment in Argentiere so that you can spend lots of time in the fantastic surrounding mountains. Not so this week!

Have spent the last 3 days on my knees with a wallpaper scraper trying to clear the remains of the old carpet from the floor of the apartment. And the good news is that the mission has now been accomplished. The old carpet is now resting in the bottom of a skip in Chamonix and the fantastic new floor is taking shape nicely. Despite still having a fair bit to lay over the next couple of days, its already transformed the apartment, and its looking great. Would love to prove it with a photo with numb-nuts here has forgotten to bring his camera!

Its not all work, work, work. That would be a bit dull. Have at least managed to get out for a bike/run/swim over the last few days. The autumn leaves and the quiet trails through the Aiguille Rouge Nature Reserve above the apartment were pretty special!
