… first turn of the key this morning. But then again, the temperature was much warmer and, after the glorious, magnificent day yesterday when I had 134.4 amps of surplus solar energy, it was overcast and pouring down with rain.<\/p>\n

And I didn’t even stop for breakfast either but straight off to Montlucon just like young Janet going to the fair at Carterhaugh in Tam Lin<\/a>\"\" – “as fast as go can me”<\/strong><\/p>\n

First stop was the Auchan where I hadn’t been for ages, and I bought the things that I couldn’t buy yesterday. but hasn’t the Auchan changed? Store enlarged and everything moved around, but fairly deserted. You can see where the new LeClerc has found its customers.<\/p>\n

Second stop was Brico Depot where I spent a staggering \u20ac450. But then, I need about 85 m\u00b2 of insulation to do all of the walls downstairs and when you see this space-blanket insulation on special offer – 23-layer thickness for just \u20ac3:80 per m\u00b2, which is far, far less than half-price, well, you have to go for it.<\/p>\n

I also bought the paint (and I’m still recovering from the shock of course) and the tongue-and-grooving for the ceiling out here, as well as a huge pile of staples for the percussion stapler seeing as how I’m running low.<\/p>\n

And that, dear reader, was that. Not even 12:00 and I was well on my way home. So much so that it wasn’t until I arrived home that I realised that I hadn’t bought the big water filter kit that was on offer at just \u20ac59:00 and which I also desperately needed.<\/p>\n

GRRRRRRRRR!<\/p>\n

\"sapeurs<\/a>On the way back through the side streets of Montlucon I pass by the fire station and there’s always some exciting stuff going on there. <\/p>\n

Today they were stretching the extended ladder and the young apprentice firemen … "firePERSONS" – ed<\/em> … werepractising running up and down the ladder. I had a good look at them and then left them to it. Far too tiring for me, even just looking at it.<\/p>\n

\"annual<\/a>This afternoon we were having the annual village get-together at the village hall in Virlet. M Le Maire<\/em> gave his little speech, and I spent most of the time chatting to Pete Marsh and his lady-friend and also Rob and Nicolette from up the road here.<\/p>\n

I didn’t stay long because I don’t “do” social events, but I did stay long enough to receive my village Xmas prezzy (an LED pencil-torch) and also a copy of the photo that they took of me for the village year-book.<\/p>\n

So now I’m home and I’m staying home. No footy tonight but the season restarts tomorrow with Pionsat’s 1st XI home to Lapeyrouse.<\/p>\n
