And I was up and about by 06:40 too.<\/p>\n<p>Rachel and Amber went to work this morning so I decided on a day off. A leisurely breakfast and a long chat with Hannah and our visitor and then I cracked on to work, with just a brief interruption for lunch.<\/p>\n<p>During the course of the day, people were coming and going but I paid no attention whatever and by the time supper was served, I&#8217;d finished all of the blog entries for July (including the missing one when I was ill) and most of them for August too. There are only three or four that need to be added, I reckon.<\/p>\n<p>And those that are there make interesting reading. As Kenneth Williams once famously said, &#8220;I&#8217;m often taken aback by my own brilliance&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Or, as the Duke of Wellington once remarked about the Battle of Waterloo and which sums up my voyage completely &#8211; &#8220;By God! I don&#8217;t think it would have been done if I had not been there&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>But now Amber is down with the dreaded lurgy. It&#8217;s doing the rounds here so I&#8217;ll probably catch it the evening that I&#8217;m due to catch my bus back to Montreal.<\/p>\n<p>A brief interruption though. US Granville&#8217;s match against C Chartres Football was televised this evening and I managed to catch the second half.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah and her friend Journee made tea tonight. For we vegans, she made a stir-fry tofu in a creamy vegan sauce with pasta, and it was absolutely delicious. She followed that up with some vegan muffins that she had found in the Atlantic Superstore and which I will be visiting again.<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s bedtime now. No alarm and a day of rest. I&#8217;m going to be attacking the rear of Strider and empty out some of the stuff that I fetched back from Montreal. Some is for Darren, some is for Zoe and the rest is for filing under CS.<\/p>\n<p>See you in the morning.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-12661 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='12661' data-nonce='c08db6eab0' 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-12661 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-12661 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='12661' data-nonce='c08db6eab0' 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-12661 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-12661 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; a very busy boy today.
