And today was no exception.<\/p>\n<p>Dunno what happened last night but at 05:30 I was lying in bed still awake reading a book in the dawn sunlight. That kind of thing can upset your day and as a result it was rather a late start again (nothing like as late as Sunday though).<\/p>\n<p>Working on the website again this morning and then after lunch I started to empty the trailer while I was waiting for the water to reach temperature. But a phone call soon stopped that. Was I free to do a furniture delivery to the other side of Montlucon?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Caliburn will only work if you know the magic words&#8221; I said<br \/>&#8220;Stop messing around, Eric. You&#8217;ll be well-paid&#8221;<br \/>&#8220;Ahhh &#8211; you DO know the magic words&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And so two guys came and helped me unload the oil tank and we all went off to do this delivery &#8211; and I was indeed well-paid. Thank you, Pascal.<\/p>\n<p>I also discovered a really cheap fruit and veg shop there and now that&#8217;s me sorted out with tomatoes and cucumbers.<\/p>\n<p>Mind you, I didn;t get the rest of my washing done and it won&#8217;t be done any time soon as the weather has broken, the glorious summer weather has gone and we are back in storms again &#8211; just about 30 seconds after I made the point that we have been 4 days without rain and the place is beginning to need watering.
