The early start yesterday plus a very late night last night didn&#8217;t do much good for my rest, and I was as lethargic as the guy yesterday in the garage.<\/p>\n<p>I was in the middle of doing something last night when I finally went to bed and so after a leisurely start to the day I had to carry on. It took far, far longer that I intended to do it &#8211; in fact it took me almost to lunchtime and that was rather a waste of a morning.<\/p>\n<p>And Terry rang up. Did I fancy a trip to Brico Depot? I can&#8217;t go anywhere right now as I&#8217;m awaiting a phone call from the garage to tell me that Caliburn is ready. But Brico Depot does have something special in the arrivages this week. I only have one decent ladder, and it&#8217;s not very long. But this week Brico Depot is selling three-plan 8-metre aluminium ladders at just \u20ac99 and so I asked Terry if he wouldn&#8217;t mind picking one up. <\/p>\n<p>And now, I have a nice new big ladder (or I will do the next time I go round to Sauret-Besserve).<\/p>\n<p>After lunch, seeing how beautiful it was and there was water at 64\u00b0C in the home-made 12 volt immersion heater, so I did a huge load of washing. It needs to be done, of course, and it gave me an opportunity to have another little relax this afternoon. <\/p>\n<p>But I really ought to be working &#8211; I can&#8217;t keep wasting time like this. And so I&#8217;m going to have an early night and a decent sleep and I&#8217;ll hopefully get a good start in the morning. <\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-4224 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='4224' data-nonce='7faa308a29' 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-4224 lc'>+1<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-4224 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='4224' data-nonce='7faa308a29' 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-4224 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-4224 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>\n    <p style=\"background-color: #f7e7b7; padding: 8px; margin-top: 1em; font-size: 0.95em;\">\n        IMPORTANT NOTE: From 1 September 2026 this blog has a live blog feature for the latest news.\n        Click any post title with \"LIVE\" in it to see live updates.
