We had the most astonishing storm – rain coming down in torrents. And as I was lying in bed listening to it, it suddenly occurred to me that I might have left Caliburn’s doors open.<\/p>\n
That made me move quite sharp-ish, I can tell you, and I was downstairs in no time flat. In vain though – I had closed them. But seeing as I was up, I made breakfast. And watching the rain fall was also astonishing. There’s a digital electric rain gauge outside, with a remote sender in the verandah, and the water level rose from 0.7mm to 4.5mm in the tine that it took to make a coffee. No wonder I was drenched just running to Caliburn.<\/p>\n
This morning on the computer, I translated into French the work that I had done on my business web site. Quebec and a small part of New Brunswick are very partisan about their right to speak the French language, and so two can play at that game as well. After all, I need the work and I’m not going there simply for the good of my health. I intend to take Canada by storm! Rather like the storm this morning.<\/p>\n
I’ve also done the first half of the second series of programmes for Radio Anglais. That will be the programmes for October. I won’t have the opportunity to do anything like that while I’m in Canada so it needs to be done before I go.<\/p>\n
This afternoon, in view of the weather, I made a start on assembling the control box for the battery that I will be buying in Canada. It has the two connectors of course, an American plug of the type that I use for 12 volt, and a cigarette lighter multiple socket, into which Ill be fitting one of the two small inverters that I bought in Clarenville in Newfoundland<\/a> last year. That’s for charging up the laptop, working the slow cooker, etc etc. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Later on in the afternoon it dried up for a little while and so I took advantage and went for a quick dash up the wall with a bucket or two of cement. <\/p>\n
