Yes, I’ve had a very good late-morning today!
I walked down to the Colruyt to buy one or two things that I needed. And on my way back I stopped at a motorcycle dealer’s to see what was going on. And my gast has never been so flabbered as it was today!
He was a Suzuki dealer in the early 1970s and he had a display of Suzuki motorcycles from that time – the old air-cooled twins and triples. As well as that, he had one of the original rotary-engined Suzukis on display too.
There was all kinds of stuff in there but pride of place had to be the 1978 Norton Commando – still in its packing case and un-assembled and which he steadfastly refused to sell me.
The only tragedy about this was that I wasn’t able to take any photographs.
This morning I was wide awake at 05:10 (just for a change) and so ended up with an early breakfast. But not to be outdone, I went back to bed for 5 minutes and it was 09:20 when I finally surfaced. I had a few things to do and then I walked down to the Colruyt as I mentioned.
lunch was toasted cheese with lettuce and tomato, and very nice it was too. I’ll be doing more of that in due course because it was delicious, but it’s running me low on vegan cheese. And so when I went out at 16:30 I called in at the Vegan Shop and bought some more.
Alison was in the café with Jenny so we all had a good chat, and then they brought me home. I gave them a guided tour of my little studio and they were quite impressed.
Tea was my kidney beans in chili sauce, with vegetables and pasta, and there’s enough left over for Saturday night too. But now I’m going to have an early night and dream of old motorcycles.
The heating is on too. I had another shower this afternoon and washed the tee-shirt and undies from yesterday seeing as the others were dry (I’ve got the hang of drying them with the fan heater now).
But all these showers in this few days? I’ll be washing myself away at this rate.
