Instead, I&#8217;ve stayed up here sitting right in front of the fan. This morning, I did another radio rock show, just to show that I am still making some kind of progress at something, but this afternoon it was impossible to do anything.<\/p>\n<p>And it was just as well, for my promised circular saw never turned up. Instead, I had an e-mail from Amazon to say that Amazon &#8220;&#8230;n&#8217;a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 en mesure de vous le livrer en votre absence. Un avis de passage a d\u00fb vous \u00eatre laiss\u00e9, comprenant les coordonn\u00e9es de La Poste afin d&#8217;organiser une nouvelle livraison&#8221;.<br \/>\nIn other words, because I wasn&#8217;t in, my delivery couldn&#8217;t be made and there will be a notice somewhere telling me how to organise a new delivery.<\/p>\n<p>And here I am, never moved from my chair all day, and no-one has been and no-one has left any notice of their visit. I dunno who the couriers are (because there is no notice from them) but whoever they are, it&#8217;s quite frankly dishonest. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Amazon has had an earful from me this evening and they are going to try to redeliver it tomorrow. I shan&#8217;t be holding my breath.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from that, not a lot has happened. I&#8217;ve done very little but, seriously, it&#8217;s not the day to be doing anuthing at all.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s going to be even worse for the next few days. I&#8217;ll have to do something about all of this. A wet towel around the next might be a start. <\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-4320 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='4320' data-nonce='a500ea46ca' 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-4320 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-4320 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='4320' data-nonce='a500ea46ca' 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-4320 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-4320 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the hottest days that I have ever encountered. 36\u00b0C outside, 31\u00b0C in the attic (with the fan going full-blast on the maximum position) and even 28.4\u00b0C on the landing downstairs with the front door and all of the windows open.
