And when I finally bit the bullet and hauled myself up, it wasn&#8217;t even 09:00.<\/p>\n<p>Just as well, as I needed to make an early start.<\/p>\n<p>I had to go to C\u00e9cile&#8217;s this morning. She&#8217;s awaiting an urgent letter which requires someone -such as Yours Truly &#8211; to make a dash to St Gervais prior to 11:30. And while I was there at 10:45 with plenty of time to spare, C\u00e9cile&#8217;s mailbox rather resembled Old Mother Hubbard&#8217;s cupboard, so that was that.<\/p>\n<p>I nipped into St Eloy for the shops and the only excitement there was that LIDL was having a sale of tapes. Not the audio variety but the sticky variety and I never have enough aluminium tape or masking tape, so I stocked up. And with all this extra expense, well, my shopping came to a massive \u20ac25:00. It&#8217;s good to be here and not in Brussels.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon I did some more work on the website &#8211; only a bit because the lack of sleep caught up with me and I crashed out for 90 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Later on I watched what is my favourite French film, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.fr\/mn\/search\/?_encoding=UTF8&#038;x=7&#038;tag=legu-21&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;y=20&#038;camp=1642&#038;creative=19458&#038;field-keywords=la%20grand%20vadrouille&#038;url=search-alias%3Ddvd#\/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_fr_FR=\u00c5M\u00c5Z\u00d5\u00d1\" target\"_blank\">La Folie Des Grandeurs<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.fr\/e\/ir?t=legu-21&#038;l=ur2&#038;o=8\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/> starring my hero Louis de Fun\u00e8s. A magnificent comic actor and this film sums up everything that there is to say about him.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow it&#8217;s my final day of rest and I need to make the most of it because I&#8217;m back at work on Monday. I&#8217;ve been making a little list of things to do and believe me, there&#8217;s enough to keep me going for a couple of years.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-2709 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='2709' data-nonce='902ee5833e' 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-2709 lc'>+3<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-2709 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='2709' data-nonce='902ee5833e' 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-2709 unlc'>-7<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-2709 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; off the premises today, but I didn&#8217;t go far, which is just as well.
