No old vehicles for months and months and then two good ones &#8211; the Studebaker of Sunday and now this one &#8211; in a couple of days. <\/p>\n<p>This morning I was much more mobile &#8211; most of the aches seem to have worn off. But after breakfast I came up here for three hours and did some more stuff for the radio programme. I can now tell you all about registering with French Social Security.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/foto2010\/1003061.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/foto2010\/1003061.jpg\" alt=\"gardening raised beds slate pathways les guis virlet puy de dome france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>After lunch I went into the garden and braved the wind and rain (we had ONLY 22mm of rain today and it&#8217;s p155ing down now). I didn&#8217;t install any more raised beds today but I&#8217;ve started doing the paths in between them. People keep asking me what I ontend to do with the rubble and old slate still in the first floor bedroom- well now you know. The rubble from the dividing wall is the base of the path and the slates are the top covering. They say that slates discourage slugs from crossing but I don&#8217;t care &#8211; it makes a good path and there&#8217;s plenty of it. Slug-repellant capacities will be a bonus.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-914 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='914' data-nonce='75100d608e' 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-914 lc'>+4<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-914 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='914' data-nonce='75100d608e' 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-914 unlc'>-7<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-914 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; to Clermont Ferrand this evening I passed under the autoroute, went round the bend &#8230; &#8220;no surprise there&#8221; &#8211; ed &#8230; above Beauregard Vendon and noticed this absolutely magnificent rainbow dangling underneath the clouds.
