I was all set to go to bed nice and early when someone with whom I needed to speak came on line. So I went for a little chat. And I would probably still be there chatting now had the battery not gone flat at 02:05. <\/p>\n<p>So it was rather a bemused and befuddled Yours Truly who struggled out of his stinking pit this morning.<\/p>\n<p>Of the computing jobs that I&#8217;ve been trying to catch up, I&#8217;ve finished one of them, which is a big sigh of relief. But another &#8211; tidying up the blog entries for my 2010 journey to Canada, I&#8217;ve hit the part where I was writing in shorthand with no photos, due to being out in the depths of Newfoundland somewhere.

But to see where I&#8217;ve reached, just go <a href=\"https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/?p=686\" title=\"eric hall voyage canada usa 2010\">to this link<\/a> and work backwards. If you want to comment on any of the posts, do so on here.<\/p>\n<p>And that reminds me &#8211; when I started editing this blog to correct the errors from when it was transferred here, I was having 10 and 12 comments a day regularly. Today, even though readership has tripled, the comments are now at about 10 or 12 per year.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be shy &#8211; if you have something to ask or something to say, then make a comment. If you are new, it won&#8217;t appear immediately until I&#8217;ve approved it, but that&#8217;s no reason to stop you.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch I started to mask off in the shower room, and I&#8217;m nowhere near finishing that &#8211; that&#8217;s the problem with buying doors with small glass panels. And in any case, Rosemary rang up for a natter for a good half an hour. <\/p>\n<p>And I had to fill in a few gaps in the woodwork &#8211; I did that by filling the gaps with wood glue and forcing clean sawdust in with a stiff spatula.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that I had forgotten was to drill the holes in the bottom of the door so that cold air will enter the bathroom and prevent condensation when I&#8217;m taking a shower (whenever that might be) &#8211; anyway I did that today and that took me up to 19:25 when I knocked off.<\/p>\n<p>And this shower room is never going to be finished &#8211; I have a car to dismantle on Monday now.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-4640 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='4640' data-nonce='fd538c5203' 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-4640 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-4640 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='4640' data-nonce='fd538c5203' 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-4640 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-4640 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; anything like done what I was hoping to do today.
