\"caliburn<\/a>The postie came by this morning and she dropped off a letter. This was the definitive insurance certificate for Caliburn. <\/p>\n

This had Caliburn’s new registration details on it and so I put his new numberplates on him. We’re all legal now.<\/p>\n

This means I’ll have to pay more attention to speed limits and the like as I’ll no longer be able to drift past them with “sorry, I’m a foreigner”. But such is life I suppose.<\/p>\n

Taking this time out meant that I only put two loads of cement into the wall this morning and that seemed to disappear without trace. I can see me thinking again about my timetable and having a dramatic change of plan.<\/p>\n

This afternoon in St Eloy I spent about 33 Euros, but that was due in part to LIDL having brought back into stock their trail mix and crushed nuts and the like, things that I put in my home-made muesli. It’s been out of stock for ages and so I stocked up today just in case this is only a temporary supply. <\/p>\n

But the bad news is that the special offer rows are reducing and reducing – looks like the weekly promotions are running out of steam.<\/p>\n

And the Carrefour is even worse. Their stock is getting less and less and judging by the length of the queues at the only two checkouts open, the staff is starting to disappear now. I wonder how long this arrangement will continue?<\/p>\n

There was a brocante<\/em> in St Eloy too, and you know how much of a fan I am of French brocantes. But this one had just 10 stalls, some of which were professional overpriced nonsense and the rest were just junk. <\/p>\n

Nothing of interest for me so I came home and did some tidying up for my visitor due at 18:00 and who rang me up to say that he would be coming on Tuesday instead. That was that as far as I was concerned and so I came in, had a coffee and looked at the football results. <\/p>\n

Crewe Alexandra lost at home to Dagenham and Redbridge, but then I suppose that it’s always difficult when you have to play against two teams at once. But I can see how this season is going to develop and it makes me wish that I’d carried on with the pointing.<\/p>\n

Ahhh well.<\/p>\n
