Of all people, it wss the bank. Could I go down there?<\/p>\n<p>That was eerie but what followed was certainly different. It appears that there has been some confusion at the bank, a sum of money hadn&#8217;t been paid, and a girl due to fly out to Canada on Saturday didn&#8217;t have any of the paperwork necessary. And so until about 12:45 I was engaged in negotiations down in Pionsat and then out at St Maurice pres Pionsat, which despite its name is nowhere near Pionsat.<\/p>\n<p>Back at the ranch, I then had to make a few telephone calls to Canada, and thanks to Katherine for giving me some help as to who to call. All in all, I was involved in this for hours. <\/p>\n<p>Having said that, though, I was flattered that the bank had called me in to help. It&#8217;s definitely a sign of progress.<\/p>\n<p>And what else? I now have some web pages in French for my business web site, thanks to Marianne who made a few corrections to my text, I&#8217;ve almost finished this battery box idea thing, I&#8217;ve a proof of no-claims bonus for my Canadian car insurance, I&#8217;ve my train tickets, I&#8217;ve booked a motel in Montreal for the first night, I&#8217;ve rented some storage space in Montreal &#8211; ooooh, lots of things.<\/p>\n<p>What with the late finish, the early start and all of the excitement I&#8217;m whacked so I&#8217;m off to bed. To listen to the wind in the trees as a strong wind has started up. It&#8217;s a beautiful breeze blowing through here.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-429 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='429' data-nonce='4f76f79927' 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-429 lc'>+1<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-429 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='429' data-nonce='4f76f79927' 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-429 unlc'>-2<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-429 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And I had so much to do as well and I&#8217;ve ended up not doing very much.
