And an early breakfast too, for once. After that, I spent a lot of time working on a project that I&#8217;m doing for Dave at Hexham. Only problem with this though is that I&#8217;m struggling for creative inspiration at the moment. Margaret Thatcher once famously said &#8220;anyone can do a good day&#8217;s work when they feel like it. The key to success is to be able to do a good day&#8217;s work when you don&#8217;t feel like it&#8221; and I don&#8217;t disagree with those comments at all. I really need to summon up the inspiration from somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also started to make a list of things that I need to do before I go away. It&#8217;s going to be a flaming long list, that&#8217;s for sure. And it will certainly stop me feeling listless.<\/p>\n<p>In St Eloy I bumped into Clare and Keith doing their shopping, even though I wasn&#8217;t there long and had a rather minimalist \u20ac23 shopping bill. Nothing special was on offer. Never mind.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, I was at the football watching Pionsat play the Chimps. And I&#8217;m not going to be talking about the match on here because I have a feeling that I shall be talking about it elsewhere. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1204\/1204031.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1204\/1204031.jpg\" alt=\"maison ducros maymat rue de la poste pionsat puy de dome france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>But I did go to see the <i>Maison Ducros<\/i> in Pionsat, the building that I photographed the other day and about which there has been so much controversy just recently.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, there won&#8217;t be any more controversy about it now, is there? It&#8217;s a tragedy and it was all so unnecessary.<\/p>\n<p>For an hour or so, I did manage to see some of the classic film <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B00005BCEW\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=erichall-21&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=19450&#038;creativeASIN=B00005BCEW\" target=\"_blank\">Ben-Hur<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.co.uk\/e\/ir?t=erichall-21&#038;l=as2&#038;o=2&#038;a=B00005BCEW\" width=\"1\"> starring the famous Charlton Athletic, he of the cold dead hand. But never mind any of that, guess who was the stunt co-ordinator and second unit director? Yes, none other than our old friend who has featured in these pages on several occasions, the legendary Yakima Canutt.
