A Mercedes 25-seater bus, a 407-type of thing, came down the lane and when he reached the junction he didn&#8217;t know which way to go, so he travelled straight on, right through my hedge (which I don&#8217;t actually have of course).<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, I was furious, and buttonholed the driver, and his response was &#8220;it&#8217;s okay. I&#8217;ll buy you a srink and it will be fine&#8221;. I told him that I expected much more than a drink for the damage that he had caused, but he ran away.<\/p>\n<p>After breakfast, I did all of the paperwork for Orange Telecom and then went into Pionsat to post it off. On the way back, I gave Caliburn a really good wash and soak. And I can see that I&#8217;m going to have to give his bodywork some attention in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>From there, I could carry on with cleaning and grouting the <em>beichstuhl<\/em>, and once I&#8217;d done that, I started to fit the top. And that took a huge amount of work &#8211; much more than you might think. It needed considerable modification. <\/p>\n<p>Cecile hadn&#8217;t been able to contact the telephone company about my line, but at lunchtime I noticed that Liz was on line, so she gallantly took up the cudgel. And with Liz and I exchanging messages on here and Liz passing them on to the technician on the phone, we finally worked out that the problem was in the Livebox, That&#8217;s no surprise as it&#8217;s quite flaky and nothing like as good as the previous one.<\/p>\n<p>However, about 10 minutes after the call ended, the Livebox gave a peculiar squeak and Lo and Behold, the phone line came back.<\/p>\n<p>That was the queue to catch up on a few outstanding phone calls and having been kept hanging on the line by a Danish computer company for no less than TWO HOURS, I called it a day.<\/p>\n<p>So tomorrow, I&#8217;ll have to change my plans and go to Montlucon for this blasted Livebox. I wasn&#8217;t anticipating having to waste my time doing that.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-4147 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='4147' data-nonce='16ce856f7d' 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-4147 lc'>+2<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-4147 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='4147' data-nonce='16ce856f7d' 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-4147 unlc'>-1<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-4147 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And it&#8217;s another day when I&#8217;ve been heavily sidetracked and not done anything like what I intended to do.
