When I was outside last night taking the stats before going to bed, there was a beautiful, clear sky with millions of stars shining brightly – the portent to a beautiful morning. When I awoke though, we were having a hanging cloud and light drizzle. And it’s the end of July too. Summer is halfway over before it’s even begun.<\/p>\n

And I was on my travel again during the night. I’d come up from the south of the USA heading towards Canada and upon entering New York State I’d been stopped by a flying customs patrol who charged me $108 duty on the fuel in the tank of the car. I had to go to fetch some money, and that involved a bus trip of 20 minutes to the local Burtons clothes retailer. The cash point wasn’t in the shop but outside, but nevertheless I had a good look at the clothes in the sale that they were having and decided to buy a few, although I kept on telling myself that I don’t need any clothes like these.<\/p>\n

Back at my car, I couldn’t find the customs officers and so I was tempted to drive away and forget it, but I was worried that all of my details would be in the computer and I’d be stopped by another patrol, or at the customs, or extradited from Canada and I would be in even more serious trouble.<\/p>\n

So after breakfast and back on the website. But not for long. With the rain now falling heavier and heavier, I rather lost interest and went on to other things.<\/p>\n

After lunch I stuck my head outside and the rain was falling quite heavily and so I decided to do something that I forgot to do on Sunday and Monday – to wit emptying the beichstuhl<\/em>. And it needed it too.<\/p>\n

But after that, the weather was such that I had no intention of working outside (so much for my fine words yesterday) and so worked inside. I took off a piece of badly-fitted plasterboard to find out why it wasn’t seating properly, and in the end I had to pack it out to the correct position.<\/p>\n

Once that had been done, I did some work on the wiring. I’ve rerouted a couple of cables, something that involved cutting a few notches out of a few beams, and then threaded some cable through some conduit and then wired up the light in the cupboard at the back of the stairs.<\/p>\n

That took me until about 19:10 and that was that.<\/p>\n

Tonight, I made a green pepper and chick-pea curry – enough to last for several days. I don’t fancy cooking for the rest of the week.<\/p>\n
