That won&#8217;t rot away any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>By now it was 11:30 and as there&#8217;s not much to eat round here I wandered off into St Eloy and the LIDL and Carrefour. I didn&#8217;t meet Bill today (just for a change) and once stocked up (to a value of 20 Euros) I dropped by on George but he was going out so I came home.<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon I cleaned up my room (you&#8217;ve no idea how much rubbish was in here that had gathered over the last 4 weeks) and the verandah so I have places to eat ond cook again. All of this was done to music as I coupled up the hi-fi seeing as the power situation is resolving itself more permanently. Even now at 02:00 I have Lindisfarne going on in the background.<\/p>\n<p>And I noticed on Facebook that Terry was praying for rain. And he got his wish almost as soon as he posted for we had a tropical storm. In 3 hours or so about 17mm of rain fell on here. That&#8217;s some going. I&#8217;m glad we got the roof on in here beforehand.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-1172 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='1172' data-nonce='735c0713c9' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-1172 lc'>+1<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-1172 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='1172' data-nonce='735c0713c9' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-1172 unlc'>-2<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-1172 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; so I didn&#8217;t set the alarm clock this morning.
