This took ages to dig over &#8211; in fact it&#8217;s only had its first digging &#8211; on the grounds that there are tree roots everywhere and they all need to be hauled out. Mind you I might have made much more progress had I left my bed this morning long before &#8230; errr &#8230; 10:40. I dunno what&#8217;s happening to me about this.<\/p>\n<p>After breakfast I did a couple of hours up here and I&#8217;ve put two of the footy web pages on line &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/091212a.html\">this one<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/091212b.html\">this one<\/a>. Only another 12 to do.<\/p>\n<p>This evening I went round to Michael&#8217;s and we had a bit of a jamming session. Because he&#8217;s not been playing guitar long I had to teach him some music theory, which is quite difficult as I don&#8217;t know it myself. He&#8217;s off to the UK in a couple of days time but we resolved that when he came back we would try to get together maybe once a week and see what we shall see. In the meantime I&#8217;ll have a rummage through my record collection and look for some 12-bar blues stuff (some Flying Aces stuff or JJ Cale &#8211; that kind of thing) and make up a disk of stuff to have a play with.<\/p>\n<p>And all day we had intermittent showers, hailstorms, heavy rain &#8211; you name it, we had it. And last night the temperature dropped below freezing.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-907 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='907' data-nonce='eff2189b0a' 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-907 lc'>+2<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-907 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='907' data-nonce='eff2189b0a' 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-907 unlc'>-6<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-907 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can see the seventh raised bed &#8211; it&#8217;s the one on the extreme right at centre-height in the photo.
