This time I was in the USA and, driving along a road, a came to a modern concrete bow-arch bridge. But it was so steep that the car wouldn&#8217;t climb up the road, so I had to leave the car at the bottom and climb up myself &#8211; and I DO mean climb, as if I were mountaineering up the roadway, and it wasn&#8217;t &#8216;arf difficult seeing as I was carrying my laptop with me.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the bridge was a queue of traffic waiting to cross to the side from which I had come, and when the traffic lights turned green (which took an hour, so I l learned), they all streamed off over the bridge. I wasn&#8217;t sure what to do but in the end, seeing a lorry hesitate about at the lights, I flagged him down and climbed in to take me back to my car. And the driver gave some grief to his passenger, sitting in the back of the cab, about &#8220;see what happens when you mess me around when I&#8217;m trying to driv&#8221;. From then on, I met two girls that I knew, a short one with short black hair and a thinner, slightly taller one with long mousy blond hair in a pony tail, whose birthday it was that day.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, a long time since I&#8217;ve had a dream like that. I must be starting to feel better.<\/p>\n<p>So after a leisurely breakfast I had a morning off, not doing very much, and then went off to pick up the boxes that I won on Freecycle. From there I went to pay my respects to Marianne, but there I met with something of a disappointment. There seems to be a burial planned for the plot next to hers for tomorrow and they&#8217;ve been digging it out with a mini-digger. As a result, they&#8217;ve moved the temporary cross from over Marianne&#8217;s grave, all of the flowers and wreaths are disturbed, and the soil has subsided from over the top. It wasn&#8217;t very agreeable, I can tell you, and I wish that I had never been.<\/p>\n<p>Back here, I&#8217;ve now started boxing things up, seeing as how I have boxes to put things in. That makes a difference. I&#8217;va also found another cheapo video camera here &#8211; on that works off AA batteries and SD cards. It doesn&#8217;t look like much in the way of quality but the AA batteries and SD card give it the versatility that I would like. I maight have a play with this.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Sunday, of course, and so it&#8217;s pizza and garlic bread night. But I&#8217;ve also had a go at making a <em>tarte aux patates<\/em> &#8211; a potato pie. One of those roll-up pie bases with thinly-sliced potatoes, onions, garlic, black ground pepper and soya cream. I&#8217;ll let you know tomorrow night how it turns out.<\/p>\n<p>As for posting comments, I&#8217;ve relaxed the restrictions a little so (hopefully) you can comment on the most recent postings. Give it a try and let me know how it works out.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-1225 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='1225' 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-1225 lc'>+1<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-1225 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='1225' 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-1225 unlc'>-3<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-1225 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; a decent night&#8217;s sleep and had yet another weird dream.
