French apartment renovations, Days 455: Movies and wires

I accompanied Ivy's class this morning to a short film festival. We watched 5 short pieces--some documentaries, some claymation, some cartoons or other animations.

Ivy keeps reminding us of how many days it is until her birthday. The clock is ticking! Only 3 more days now. Time to start party planning. It won't be anywhere as elaborate as Inga's, but we'll still do a party at the chateau and a lovely cake.

Eric went birthday present shopping and found a few things, so we're mostly set.

When I wasn't chaperoning, I did electrical work. I hooked up 3 outlets and 9 light switches, including two 3-way switches which are a bit more complicated. But thankfully electricity is very logical. You can be sure you have a right answer if you think it through.

 

Eric is getting ready to go to a conference. There's been lots of packing, printing, and practicing. Fortunately he won't be gone long.
