French apartment renovations, Day 695: Sleepover, more friends, writer's conference

Inga had a friend sleep over last night. They wanted pancakes for breakfast, but Eric and I had to return the air compressor and it turned into a long trip by time we made the trip there and back, dropped off some things at the dechetterie, and gassed up the car. So we made pancakes for lunch!

Right when Inga's friend was leaving, another of her friends came to play for the afternoon. They brought Ivy with them up to the chateau, then played card games once htey came back home.

Zari, Dio, and I took a trip to two different bookstores to buy her a new journal. After much deliberation, she chose a Gustav Klimt journal.

I did lots of breech video editing--a new version of our Spanish breech course.

Eric was busy most of the afternoon and evening, helping out with a writer's conference sponsored by La Maison Baldwin, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the work and honoring the life of James Baldwin. We're hosting a few of the writers in Le Chateau.

After dinner, we all (minus Eric) watched "The Good Place." The kids are really enjoying it so far--we had time to watch 3 episodes since they are very short. Years back, Eric and I watched the first season or two and then stopped.

I'm currently reading several books simultaneously. I'm nearly finished with Spare and am working my way through When The Body Says No by Gabor Mate and Prey: Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women's Rights by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I don't usually read multiple books at once but somehow I ended up with several in process.
