\"\"<\/a>Passage aux toilettes au milieu de la nuit. Sans faire expr\u00e8s je r\u00e9veille Paul. Comme \u00e0 chaque fois, je regarde dehors.<\/strong>
\nI go to the toilet in the middle of the night. Without expressly waking Paul. As always, I look outside.

Un \u00e9clair de lumi\u00e8re attire mon attention. Est-ce que le voisin continue de faire des rondes\u00a0? Mais ce n\u2019est pas lui, la lumi\u00e8re c\u2019est chez nous, juste en dessous, dans le hangar. C\u2019est tellement incroyable que je me demande ce que S\u00e9b est en train d\u2019inventer. J\u2019h\u00e9site \u00e0 appeler\u00a0: si ce n\u2019est pas lui, c\u2019est quelqu\u2019un qui n\u2019a rien \u00e0 faire l\u00e0, et qui fur\u00e8te, cachant autant que possible l\u2019\u00e9clair de sa lampe.<\/strong>
\nA flash of light catches my attention. Does the neighbor keep making rounds? But it\u2019s not him, the light is in our property, just below, in the hangar. It\u2019s so amazing that I wonder what S\u00e9b is inventing. I hesitate to call: if it is not him, there is someone who has nothing to do there, and who is snooping about, hiding the lightning of his lamp as much as possible.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On n\u2019est pas rapide quand on dort \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 et que la situation nous \u00e9chappe.<\/strong>
\nWe are not quick when we are half asleep and the situation escapes us.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Paul, il y a quelqu\u2019un, l\u00e0\u00a0!\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Paul, there is someone there!\u00a0\u00bb
\n\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Deux silhouettes partent en courant. Je me pr\u00e9cipite vers la fen\u00eatre de la chambre, j\u2019ouvre, c\u2019est long, et je vois quelqu\u2019un tirant la tondeuse. Un moteur tourne doucement sur la route.<\/strong>
\nTwo figures run away. I rush to the bedroom window, I open, it’s long, and I see someone pulling the mower. An engine runs smoothly on the road.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Le temps d\u2019attraper un par\u00e9o, c\u2019est long, de d\u00e9valer l\u2019escalier, de d\u00e9verrouiller la porte, c\u2019est long, c\u2019est long, je poursuis nos visiteurs. Une voiture est arr\u00eat\u00e9e moteur en marche, la tondeuse a d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 charg\u00e9e dans le coffre, la voiture me file sous le nez.<\/strong>
\nTime to catch a pareo, it\u2019s long, time to hurtle down the stairs, to unlock the door, it\u2019s long, it\u2019s long, I am chasing our visitors. A car is stopped with the engine running, the mower has already been loaded in the trunk, the car gets away before my nose.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sans doute son \u00e9clairage \u00e9tait-il \u00e9teint. Sinon pourquoi n\u2019ai-je pas pu lire la plaque\u00a0?<\/strong>
\nNo doubt its lighting was off. Why else couldn’t I read the license plate\u00a0?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Je n\u2019ai rien pu faire, mais peut-\u00eatre h\u00e9siteront-ils \u00e0 revenir apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 surpris.<\/strong>
\nI couldn’t do anything, but maybe they will hesitate to come back after being surprised.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Si j\u2019avais \u00e9t\u00e9 plus rapide, j\u2019aurais peut-\u00eatre \u00e9t\u00e9 au contact. \u00c0 froid, en raisonnant, je vois bien que cela pouvait \u00eatre dangereux. Plus on est d\u00e9butant dans la maraude, plus on risque de faire de grosses b\u00eatises. Nos visiteurs ne nous ont pas pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 leur \u00e9tat de service, ni leur capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 ma\u00eetriser la situation.<\/strong>
\nIf I had been faster, I might have been in contact. Cold, reasoning, I can see that it could be dangerous. The more you are new to the marauding, the more you risk making big mistakes. Our visitors did not specify their state of service or their ability to control the situation.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Je trouve qu\u2019ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 gonfl\u00e9s de prendre la tondeuse alors qu\u2019ils venaient d\u2019\u00eatre surpris. <\/strong>
\nI think they were audacious, taking the mower when they had just been surprised.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Je savais qu\u2019il y avait une voiture dont le moteur tournait au ralenti, mais \u00e0 partir de quand l\u2019ai-je entendue\u00a0? J\u2019ai vu courir deux silhouettes, mais \u00e0 quel moment pr\u00e9cis les ai-je vues\u00a0? <\/strong>
\nI knew there was a car with an idling engine, but when did I hear it? I saw two figures running, but when exactly did I see them?
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

C\u2019est incroyable comme l\u2019effet de surprise nous fait faire n\u2019importe quoi. On m\u2019a dit que j\u2019avais eu du courage, mais ce n\u2019\u00e9tait pas du courage, juste un comportement irr\u00e9fl\u00e9chi et spontan\u00e9. On m\u2019a m\u00eame dit que je n\u2019aurais jamais d\u00fb les poursuivre.<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s amazing how the surprise makes us do anything. I was told that I had courage, but it was not courage, just rash and spontaneous behavior. I was even told that I should never have chased them.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ce qui aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 efficace, c\u2019\u00e9tait de hurler, oui, \u00e7a fait bizarre, et c\u2019\u00e9tait la bonne id\u00e9e\u2026 Du bruit, de la lumi\u00e8re, \u00e7a aurait d\u00e9rang\u00e9 nos visiteurs nocturnes. <\/strong>
\nWhat would have been effective was to yell, yes, it sounds weird, and that was the right idea … Noise, light, it would have bothered our night visitors.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Bilan de cette nuit interrompue\u00a0? Quelques difficult\u00e9s \u00e0 retrouver le sommeil \u00e0 trois heures et demie\u2026 Mais pas de frayeur r\u00e9trospective, personne n\u2019a eu peur ni pendant ni apr\u00e8s. Une tondeuse dont la seule valeur est sa valeur d\u2019usage. En conclusion, encore un emb\u00eatement comme on en a tous et dont on se passerait volontiers.<\/strong>
\nResults of this interrupted night? Some difficulty getting back to sleep at half past three … But no retrospective fright, no one was afraid either during or after. A mower whose only value is its use value. In conclusion, another annoyance like we all have and that we would happily do without.

Quand je ne poursuis pas des voleurs, quand je ne me mets pas en mauvaise posture au volant de la voiture, mes activit\u00e9s sont plut\u00f4t routini\u00e8res\u00a0: je me suis aper\u00e7ue que j\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 d\u00e9sherber les framboisiers le onze avril\u00a0! Non, il n\u2019y en a pas des hectares, et je n\u2019ai pas fait que \u00e7a de toutes mes journ\u00e9es, heureusement. Il y a tant \u00e0 faire\u2026 que j\u2019ai fait aussi plein d\u2019autres choses. Ce qui fait que dans les framboisiers, les mauvaises herbes ont eu le temps de revenir… Il m\u2019a fallu passer encore une fois avec les outils avant d\u2019\u00e9taler un joli matelas de paille\u2026<\/strong>
\nWhen I’m not chasing thieves, when I’m not in bad shape behind the wheel of the car, my activities are rather routine: I realized that I started weeding raspberries on April 11! No, there aren’t hectares, and I haven’t done that all day, luckily. There is so much to do … I\u2019ve also done a lot of other things. So that in raspberries, the weeds had time to come back … I had to go through the tools again before spreading out a nice straw mattress …
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mais il m\u2019a fallu aussi passer souvent au milieu des framboisiers\u00a0: la premi\u00e8re r\u00e9colte a \u00e9t\u00e9 faite le 27 mai, Paul n\u2019en revenait pas, si t\u00f4t en saison\u00a0! Et d\u00e9j\u00e0 les m\u00fbres prennent le relai.<\/strong>
\nBut I also had to pass often among the raspberries: the first harvest was made on May 27, Paul was so surprised, so early in the season! And the blackberries are already taking over.

S\u00e9b avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 bien avanc\u00e9 ses travaux de terrassement et le d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement des cuves \u00e0 eau quand j\u2019ai fait ma br\u00e8ve escapade dans le sud. En revenant, je me suis sentie un peu d\u00e9pays\u00e9e\u00a0: aid\u00e9 de Laurent quand celui-ci passait nous voir, S\u00e9b a creus\u00e9 une tranch\u00e9e pour prot\u00e9ger les tuyaux d\u2019eau, et maintenant toutes les cuves sont regroup\u00e9es derri\u00e8re la maison. Paul a nettoy\u00e9 l\u2019emplacement de deux d\u2019entre elles o\u00f9 d\u00e9j\u00e0 le liseron pousse au milieu du gazon sem\u00e9.<\/strong>
\nS\u00e9b had already advanced his earthworks and moving the water tanks well when I made my short trip to the south. Coming back, I felt a little disoriented: helped by Laurent when he came to see us, S\u00e9b dug a trench to protect the water pipes, and now all the tanks are grouped behind the house. Paul cleaned up the location of two of them where the bindweed is already growing in the middle of the sown lawn.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Il y avait six cuves \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la serre et deux vers le hangar, elles sont toutes regroup\u00e9es\u00a0: en ce moment, on laisse y couler l\u2019eau toute la nuit, et pendant le jour l\u2019eau revient sur les maisons. Une man\u0153uvre le matin, une le soir, une belle simplification de la gestion de l\u2019eau.<\/strong>
\nThere were six tanks next to the greenhouse and two towards the hangar, they are all grouped together: at the moment, the water is allowed to flow there overnight, and during the day the water returns to the houses. One maneuver in the morning, one in the evening, a great simplification of water management.

Paul a d\u00e9truit un massif qui s\u2019\u00e9tiolait. S\u00e9b y a sem\u00e9 du gazon, ainsi que partout o\u00f9 il a creus\u00e9 des tranch\u00e9es. Chaque soir il arrose en cherchant la meilleure technique\u00a0: il finit par se brancher sur l\u2019eau de la maison car il y a un surpresseur.<\/strong>
\nPaul destroyed a shrinking massif. S\u00e9b sowed sod there, as well as wherever he dug trenches. Every night he watered looking for the best technique: he ended up connecting to the house water because there was a booster.

\u00c9videmment, par ces temps de s\u00e9cheresse et de vent, l\u2019eau devient la pr\u00e9occupation num\u00e9ro Un. Nous cherchons comment simplifier sa gestion, les solutions se mettent en place tout doucement.<\/strong>
\nObviously, in these dry and windy times, water becomes the number one concern. We are looking for ways to simplify its management, the solutions are being put in place very slowly.
