  •                                Le pilier penché .


      Comme vous le savez j ' ai deux murs en ruine à réparer au bout de la pelouse . Un est terminé .


       Le deuxième mur commence par un pilier qui est dangeureusement penché et risque de tomber . Aussi j' ai entrepris de le redresser et à mettre du mortier pour consolider .


      Je ne sais pas pourquoi , mais en faisant cela je pensais à la Tour penchée de Pise . Mais aussitôt je me dis " Michel , reste modeste ! " . N ' est - ce pas ?


                                   The leaning pillar .


      As you know I have two walls in ruin at the end of the lawn . I have ended to repair one of them .


      At the beginning of the second wall there is a pillar that is dangerously leaning and is in danger of falling down . I have begun to set up again it and put mortar to make sure .


      I don ' t know why but in doing that I thought of the leaning Tower of Pisa . But as soon as I told me " Michel , remain modest !"  Isn't it ?

    I'm be famous in history as the "one day too late."

    Buon Compleanno Michel.

    As they say in Italy "Non é mai troppo tardi"

    About the leaning pillar is that if you build it like the guy in Pisa will fall and the will be the fallen pillar of Michel.Nice too,we will come look at it all from over the word.

    We could put road signs ín Bruxelles  :500 km to the falling Michel's pillar,the visit will be guided by Mauricette,the chicken.eggs will be free.

    Have a great day Michel.

  • Hehehe, that is the joy of one's garden - imagination is the key

  • I miss read on second visit..... thought it was titled the Learning pillar.  Added a whole different twist to your story.

  • I read over at Carlo's that dear little Mauricette has passed away. How sad. Does she have a special place of rest in the garden?
