Today was an overcast chilly day and ended up being largely devoted to housekeeping. Started with stop in at Le Peloton for coffee and a hello to the lads. Then off to BHV for some white duct tape, returned to tape up the vent in the bedroom which was admitting cold air and noise at a prodigious rate. After that it was off to look at a potential couch for replacement of the existing one. While all 13 of us owners don’t always agree we unanimously hate the existing orange couch, which gives the sensation of the cushions slipping off the front, even though they are not. After a pleasant lunch of roast chicken, frites and a salad at Sacre Frenchy, returned to the apartment to await one of Adrian’s maintenance people to help with the heaters. He eventually showed up but was not able to help in anyway, although he did print out an owners manual of sorts in French. We attempted step one, setting the clock and didn’t succeed. At this point, they are all in some kind of manual mode and staying on temp setting so that is fine. He did seem absolutely baffled as to why anyone would want their heater to stay at the temperature they set, and I was absolutely baffled as to why he would think that we would want the heaters to follow some random program that none of us understood or set. We eventually had to agree to disagree on that one. In any case, I was able to have a good nights sleep with the cold air blocked off and the noise reduced and the bedroom heater keeping things around 64f it was good. I did add some foam insulation to the exterior cut out on the window this morning for even more noise abatement. Dinner was at Breizh Odeon with a pastrami crepe.
