Holy "sheets" of rain are starting to calm down for better intensify for the rest of this weekend. The wind is beginning to clear its throat for the recital scheduled for tonight on the Isle of Beauty.
The cat Shadow of the ninja didn't even move of her soft shed, looking at me, saying "i don't go nowhere today, and you should do the same!"
As with every bad weather EDF / Enedis (producer and manager of electricity) offers us to be abstracted in case where with the soggy soils some trees would have the idea of stretching their roots, falling on the electric wires , which would deprive some villages of light, and others connectivities.
Access to the EDF lines in Corsica are difficult, and access to the trees that have fallen on them is even more difficult. There is a difference in height, the ground is slippery, it is necessary to clear the brush to create or recreate an access in the scrubland where brambles can reach two meters in height. In an environment where everything is soggy from the ground to the vegetation, we have to move around with chainsaws, brush cutters, gas cans, my climbing bag, sometimes on slippery rocks, or along small flooded streams.
On the work site, there is always a risk of electrocution from electric cables running along the ground, or holding a tree, branches under tension, be careful that your colleague doesn't accidentally send you a log while you are working down below, despite the safety protocols the outside conditions can be described as f...kin' hostile!
And precisely because there is all this chaos outside to come back home safe and sound with the guys, inside you have to be awake for yourself and the others. You have to be aware of your limits and those of others and work with team spirit.
All this to secure the sites, so that the ERDF agents can get the power back on.
So that when I get home, I still have no electricity, and Shadow by candlelight, after eating, comes and lies on my lap.
In front of me i have a good example of inside weather I should develop, while purring, she is able to feel what I could do, and also attentive to outside noises. .. And sure she stays a cat!
