And on my way back I stopped at a motorcycle dealer&#8217;s to see what was going on. And my gast has never been so flabbered as it was today!<\/p>\n<p>He was a Suzuki dealer in the early 1970s and he had a display of Suzuki motorcycles from that time &#8211; the old air-cooled twins and triples. As well as that, he had one of the original rotary-engined Suzukis on display too.<\/p>\n<p>There was all kinds of stuff in there but pride of place had to be the 1978 Norton Commando &#8211; still in its packing case and un-assembled and which he steadfastly refused to sell me.<\/p>\n<p>The only tragedy about this was that I wasn&#8217;t able to take any photographs.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I was wide awake at 05:10 (just for a change) and so ended up with an early breakfast. But not to be outdone, I went back to bed for 5 minutes and it was 09:20 when I finally surfaced. I had a few things to do and then I walked down to the Colruyt as I mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>lunch was toasted cheese with lettuce and tomato, and very nice it was too. I&#8217;ll be doing more of that in due course because it was delicious, but it&#8217;s running me low on vegan cheese. And so when I went out at 16:30 I called in at the Vegan Shop and bought some more.<\/p>\n<p>Alison was in the caf\u00e9 with Jenny so we all had a good chat, and then they brought me home. I gave them a guided tour of my little studio and they were quite impressed.<\/p>\n<p>Tea was my kidney beans in chili sauce, with vegetables and pasta, and there&#8217;s enough left over for Saturday night too. But now I&#8217;m going to have an early night and dream of old motorcycles. <\/p>\n<p>The heating is on too. I had another shower this afternoon and washed the tee-shirt and undies from yesterday seeing as the others were dry (I&#8217;ve got the hang of drying them with the fan heater now).<\/p>\n<p>But all these showers in this few days? I&#8217;ll be washing myself away at this rate.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-7786 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='7786' data-nonce='fc406169f9' 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-7786 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-7786 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='7786' data-nonce='fc406169f9' 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-7786 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-7786 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I&#8217;ve had a very good late-morning today!
