I&#8217;d planned to spend most of the afternoon out there too and I&#8217;d taken a good book with me &#8211; but it was clearly impossible and after a while I fled to the comfort and safety of my apartment. 1-metre thick stone walls don&#8217;t let in much heat, so hear I am hoping that they don&#8217;t let in much cold in the winter either.<\/p>\n<p>According to the thermometer that I have here, it only reached 26.5\u00b0C outside, but it felt 10\u00b0C higher than that. And it reached 24\u00b0C in here too, and that&#8217;s with all of the windows open too.<\/p>\n<p>I had another dismal night last night and I&#8217;ve no idea why that should be. But yet again I was awake long before the alarm went off.<\/p>\n<p>After a relax, I headed off to track down a <em>baguette<\/em> and didn&#8217;t have to go farther than the <em>depot de pain<\/em> at the newsagents. He was in quite a garrulous mood as usual and we had a lengthy chat, and I managed to avoid bumping into any neighbours on the way.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a Bank Holiday and so in accordance with usual procedures I had a day off work. Well, not quite, as I did a little (only a little) tidying up here and there with bits and pieces. And as you know, I took my butties outside for lunch.<\/p>\n<p>My intention was to go back out later in the afternoon and take advantage of the good weather, but just as I was gathering up my book, Rosemary rang me. It&#8217;s always nice to talk to friends of course, and we had a really good chat for about an hour and a half, by which time it was tea-time.<\/p>\n<p>Tea was kidney beans and peanuts and olives in a tomato, vegetable and onion sauce (courtesy of Yours Truly) with plenty of garlic. And there&#8217;s enough left over for another three days. But there will be an interruption on Sunday when I shall be experimenting with the new oven (if I remember to pick it up tomorrow). And that reminds me &#8211; an oven means &#8220;oven chips&#8221; of course, and so that means at some time I&#8217;ll have to buy some more vegan sausages. <\/p>\n<p>Mustn&#8217;t forget.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of the phone, I&#8217;ve had the phone &#8211; the land line, that is &#8211; just two weeks now, and already I&#8217;ve received the mammoth total of three phone calls. One was a wrong number and the other two were these &#8220;you have won a major prize &#8211; please telephone (some massive overpriced premium line) for further details&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nice to know that I&#8217;m wanted. Although I shudder to think what for. <\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-7920 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='7920' data-nonce='17e306aa0d' 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-7920 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-7920 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='7920' data-nonce='17e306aa0d' 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-7920 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-7920 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Or, rather &#8230; phwoarrr, what a scorcher!
