Who said &#8220;global warming&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>So after a morning on the internet and another lap around the shops, I was halfway through this never-ending list of phone calls that is growing quicker than I can ring them, when I had another phone call. Consequently it was &#8220;down tools and off for the tram and back to the Porte de Halle&#8221;, where I spent until 19:30 sitting on a chair reading Fenimore Cooper&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/0140624317\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=erichall-21&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=19450&#038;creativeASIN=0140624317\" target=\"_blank\">The Last of the Mohicans<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.co.uk\/e\/ir?t=erichall-21&#038;l=as2&#038;o=2&#038;a=0140624317\" width=\"1\">, the most famous, but not necessarily the best, of the &#8220;Leatherstocking Tales&#8221; before coming back home.

I need to give the place a thorough cleaning as I&#8217;m having an &#8220;open day&#8221; here tomorrow evening from 17:00 until 20:00 and the place is looking like a battleground even though I&#8217;ve only been here a few days. I also have to nip back up the road to be there for 13;00 in between all of this so I need to put my skates on<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-6 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='6' data-nonce='b7b79f65af' 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-6 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-6 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='6' data-nonce='b7b79f65af' 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-6 unlc'>-2<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-6 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; here in Brussels today.
