And so how come I&#8217;m on the internet now? Actually, I&#8217;m at Liz and Terry&#8217;s making very kind use of their internet here. <\/p>\n<p>Today, after working on the topic for our radio programmes next week (we will be talking about the Post Office) I went to the plant fair at St Gervais. This is where people sell their surplus garden plants to those whose crops have been wiped out by intemperate weather, and I now have some peppers, chilis, tomatoes, oregano, all kinds of stuff like that. There was even some natural soap for deep-cleaning the skin (I&#8217;ll need that when I finally start on the old cars that I have to restore) and some natural soap for dealing with stains on clothing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1105\/1105069.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1105\/1105069.jpg\" alt=\"fc psh fc pionsat st hilaire cellule puy de dome ligue football league france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>After that I went to Cellule, near Davayat to watch Pionsat&#8217;s 1st XI get soundly spanked. After that, we watched a football match and FC Pionsat St Hilaire&#8217;s 1st XI were beaten 5-2.<\/p>\n<p> But then again, playing with a back four of Lord Lucan, Martin Bormann and a couple of Easter Island statues it was hardly surprising. They were employing what I call the &#8220;Lego defence&#8221; &#8211; they all go to pieces in the box.<\/p>\n<p>And now we have been rehearsing our radio programme for Tuesday &#8211; the morning it&#8217;s Radio Tartasse and in the afternoon it&#8217;s Radio Arverne.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\"><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Liz wants her computer back and so I have to go. I don&#8217;t know when it might be that I&#8217;ll be on line again, but I&#8217;ll be back as soon as I can.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-506 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='506' data-nonce='c08db6eab0' 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-506 lc'>+2<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-506 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='506' data-nonce='c08db6eab0' 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-506 unlc'>-2<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-506 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, actually my Livebox has been hit by lightning and until I can get a new one sent to me I have no internet connection and so I can&#8217;t keep my blog up-to-date &#8220;Hooray&#8221; &#8230; ed.
