And there would be someone there whom I was looking forward to meeting.<\/p>\n<p>But anyway, after a leisurely start I set to work on the radio programmes for the next 6 weeks. And in a fit of unbridled enthusiasm I&#8217;d finished everything that needed doing by about 19:00. <\/p>\n<p>Rather late I know if I&#8217;m going partying, but I wasn&#8217;t going to stop in mid-flow.<\/p>\n<p>So while I was washing and shaving I threw together a mushroom fried rice to take with me, and then I leapt into Caliburn and set off for the entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>It was when I reached St Fargeol that I realised that I didn&#8217;t have a clue where I was going.

I was quite looking forward to it too. <\/p>\n<p>Ahhh well.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-218 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='218' data-nonce='16ce856f7d' 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-218 lc'>+2<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-218 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='218' data-nonce='16ce856f7d' 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-218 unlc'>-2<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-218 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was invited out to a party tonight and even though I&#8217;m not particularly sociable as you know, I try to make a point of going &#8211; it&#8217;s the only way that I&#8217;ll ever meet new people.
