… all day today, although you might not think so.<\/p>\n
Not quite managing an early start, I still managed an early breakfast and then started to work. We needed a series of 5 radio programmes for Monday and so no time like the present. <\/p>\n
All morning (and some of the early afternoon) was spent drawing up five minutes of a gardening programme, and then 15 minutes-worth of useful French phrases. It’s all becoming rather complicated.<\/p>\n
We had a little break for shopping. St Eloy-les-Mines unfortunately. I was hoping to go to Montlucon as I’m running out of everything, but the radio was more important. <\/p>\n
I just managed the basics, as well as some A4 pouches for the laminator, seeing as LIDL had some on offer, and also a pile of bags of hazel nuts for the muesli – it’s been a while since LIDL had any of them in stock.<\/p>\n
Back at the ranch I cooked some more rice in the steamer while I had lunch and then continued wih Part II – a load of notes on the system of points for traffic offences here in France. <\/p>\n
It’s quite complicated, and having to navigate around the French Government’s own website is not so easy either.<\/p>\n
Anyway, there’s enough to keep us going for a good few weeks.<\/p>\n
This evening, with piping hot water in the dump load and only 24\u00b0C in the solar shower tank and me feeling rather dirty, I dumped 6 litres of water from the former to the latter, which pushed that up to 35\u00b0C. <\/p>\n
I stripped off and just as I was about to plunge underneath, the ‘phone rang. <\/p>\n
And it’s a good job it was a telephone and not a television as it was Marianne reminding me about tomorrow. She would have had a giggle if she had known how I was answering the phone.<\/p>\n
So a nice clean me, and I’m off for an early night. And a little lie-in tomorrow. \u00a0<\/p>\n
