Pimms o'clock

DD arrived from the UK with a bottle of Pimms - surprisingly hard to find in France - and with out current glut of strawberries, not to say mint, it seemed an appropriate thing to drink this evening.
Earlier in the afternoon, our carpenter had come back to look at a few jobs to do with doors and windows. Looking at my best efforts, one could feel him biting back any comment (or indeed wry laugh) ending up with a consoling "Carpentry is easy if you have the right tools" in his best french. Clearly I don't have those aforementioned outils.
