… about one thing. <\/p>\n

And that was that I didn’t do too much today.<\/p>\n

Up with the cock this morning (but that’s enough about my disgusting habits) and after breakfast (I’m back to 3 meals a day now so I’m clearly feeling better) I cleared off to Marcillat en Combraille.<\/p>\n

Today’s the day for Radio Tartasse to record the Radio Anglais rock music programmes for the following month – get them out of the way as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

It didn’t take long either – a mere 28 minutes – and I was back here by 10:45.<\/p>\n

Paperwork was next and then I carried on with the website – I’ve almost finished my walk around the city of Qu\u00e9bec<\/a> and it might even be on line by the end of next week.<\/p>\n

I did intend to go outside today but the rain, that started as a slight drizzle, was by now a torrential downpour, and so I made a butty and came up here to watch a film. The Lady In Cement<\/a>\"\", starring none other than Frank Sinatra as a Philip Marlowe-type detective but with Attitude. <\/p>\n

This film was a sequel to Sinatra’s\u00a0Tony Rome<\/a>\"\", which I found in a junk shop for \u20ac1:99 and which so fascinated me that I bought the sequel full-price. <\/p>\n

If there ever are any doubts about Sinatra’s acting ability then The Lady in Cement will dispel them completely. There are a few scenes in there that are magnificent, and it’s been a long time since I’ve said that about an acting performance.<\/p>\n

These two films are so good that it did make me wonder whether or not they were ever going to make some kind of series out of them.<\/p>\n

Anyway, after that I went downstairs and carried on working on the shelving for the cupboard. <\/p>\n

Part of the problem with the wood that I buy is that it’s rough-cut stuff and so much of the time was spent sanding it all down ready to assemble. Given a few days of heavy weather though next week even that lot might be finished. <\/p>\n

It won’t half be nice to have somewhere to store all of the stuff down there when the shelving is completed.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow though I’m off to Montlucon if I wake up early enough. I need to make a mega-shop as I’m running low on stuff. <\/p>\n

And that reminds me – the next monthly mega-shop that I do isn’t going to be in France. I might well be having my long-earned break \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/p>\n
