And there&#8217;s enough lentil curry for a couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>Downright delicious it was, and followed by a pot of the new Alpro coconut flavoured soya dessert, what else could any man desire? Apart from Kate Bush and Jennifer Agutter of course.<\/p>\n<p>I should have been out wining and dining with Alison but she&#8217;s come down with the dreaded lurgy and of course my health is rather fragile. She needs a rest and I don&#8217;t need to catch anything at all.<\/p>\n<p>But as for the usual activities, it&#8217;s a good job that I went for an early night last night. This morning at blasted 06:45 I was awoken by a couple of residents shouting up the stairs at each other. Some people have absolutely no idea of what it means to &#8220;live in Community&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>But I had been on my travels during the night too. I don&#8217;t remember too much about it, but I was somewhere in Belgium talking to a group of <em>nouveax arrivants<\/em>. We were discussing income-generating activities and it turned out that four young boys were involved in making jewellery. They were planning on having an exhibition and so I was giving them advice, like holding in on a Sunday when most Belgians liked to have a day out, and where to go to have leaflets and flyers prepared.<\/p>\n<p>Breakfast was crowded this morning. Hordes of people up there, and that makes a change. It was difficult to sit and read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/exec\/obidos\/redirect?link_code=ur2&#038;tag=erichall-21&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=6738&#038;path=external-search%3Fsearch-type=ss%26index=books%26keyword=lord%20of%20the%20rings\">my book<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.co.uk\/e\/ir?t=erichall-21&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=2\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/>. And did you know that they had motor vehicles in Middle Earth? There&#8217;s a delightful little paragraph &#8211; <strong>\u201cLegolas and Gimli were to ride again together in the company of Aragorn and Gandalf, who went in the van with the D\u00fanedain and the sons of Elrond.\u201d<\/strong>. I wonder which van it was.<\/p>\n<p>After breakfast I had plenty of things to do but for some reason or other I closed my eyes fora few minutes. Next thing that I remembered, it was 11:25. I&#8217;d been on my travels too during that &#8230; errr &#8230; three hours that I was away. Good grief!<\/p>\n<p>I was chatting to a friend of mine on the internet until lunchtime, and then went to purchase my <em>baguette<\/em> for lunch. And after lunch, the bank in Pionsat would be open, so I needed to telephone them to report yesterday&#8217;s little accident. I was pushed around from pillar to post, as you might expect, but eventually I could register the accident and receive a file number. So that was all organised.<\/p>\n<p>I attacked <a href=\"http:\/\/www.erichall.eu\" target=\"_blank\">the website<\/a> after that, and I&#8217;ve made some progress with that. Slow, to be sure, but progress all the same. It&#8217;ll probably be 100 years before it&#8217;s finished.<\/p>\n<p>I had tea after that, and now I&#8217;m planning for an early night. After my exertions of this morning though, I&#8217;m not sure whether or not I&#8217;ll be having another difficult night.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-7093 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='7093' data-nonce='d877939e79' 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-7093 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-7093 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='7093' data-nonce='d877939e79' 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-7093 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-7093 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Start off with a knob of vegan margarine, and when it&#8217;s melted, add a pile of sliced garlic.
