Sixteen and a half

In sixteen and a half days Anika will be setting off for the house with Pat and Mary and a couple of days later I will be joining them for a full week of holiday.
A bit like last year we are getting estimated bills from EDF that assumes someone is living there all the time. So we have investigated things a bit and it looks like we can get an external meter reader installed for about 80 euro. Our caretaker is taking things in hand.

Here is a reminder of refuse collection and disposal stuff from our "manual".

Household Rubbish Collection.
The recycle collection is on Wednesday morning(about 8.00am) and all recyclables, plastic, cans, aluminium trays, cartons, newspapers, magazines, should be put into a yellow refuse bag.
There is are collections on Monday and Friday mornings, about 8.00am.
The rest of the refuse (except glass) should be left in "black"plastic bag outside the front door where it can be seen will be picked-up.
Bottles (and glass) should not be put in with the regular rubbish but taken to the various glass recycle points. There is one at the decheterie (see above), one on the road out of Marsilly to Esnande and one on the road down to the "Port".
