And quite right too. I owe myself several from my exertions early in the year.<\/p>\n<p>So even though it was still not light when I woke up, it was 10:00 when I heaved myself out of the stinking pit and into the land of the living. And while I was breakfasting, I watched an episode of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B000GUK3SS\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=19450&#038;creativeASIN=B000GUK3SS&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=erichall-21\" target\"_blank\">The Saint<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=erichall-21&#038;l=as2&#038;o=2&#038;a=B000GUK3SS\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/> where he is in Haiti with the zombies and the undead &#8211; and didn&#8217;t that bring back many happy memories of my time with the Open University Students Association? <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not really true to say that I had a day of rest though. In fact I attacked the database that I&#8217;ve been making and now that&#8217;s finished completely. And I&#8217;m astonished at what it&#8217;s thrown up. Quite clearly, I&#8217;ve not been keeping track of what I&#8217;ve been playing, and anyone can tell that Hawkwind has been my most favourite group during this whole series of radio programmes. <\/p>\n<p>I need to shuffle the pack quite a lot, that&#8217;s for sure. But at least, doing these twice-weekly rock shows is giving me a good excuse to expand my CD collextion, so I&#8217;m not complaining.<\/p>\n<p>And after that, I did the studio show for the next month&#8217;s programmes. As for the live concert, that&#8217;s tomorrow&#8217;s task. And I&#8217;m not even quite sure what concet I&#8217;m going to pick. Whatever it might be, it won&#8217;t be as stunning as the last three concerts that I&#8217;ve produced. They have been outstanding.<\/p>\n<p>Tea wasn&#8217;t so successful tonight. I didn&#8217;t get the fire hot enough and so it took ages to cook the spuds. I consequently put the sprouts in too early and so they were overcooked. Cooking with this woodstove is a bit hit-and-miss, that&#8217;s for sure, but it&#8217;s doing the business here and saving on the bottled gas. If I can put these three extra solar panels up some time soon, I&#8217;ll have enough electricity in the summer to cook electric with the steamer and the slow cooker &#8211; won&#8217;t that be progress?  <\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-2677 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='2677' data-nonce='6e5e010b31' 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-2677 lc'>+1<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-2677 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='2677' data-nonce='6e5e010b31' 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-2677 unlc'>-1<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-2677 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; I&#8217;ve had another day of rest today.
