… my rice pudding for tea.<\/p>\n
In fact, I was far too busy.<\/p>\n
We had 25.5mm of rain throughout the day and during that time I was refitting the temporary roof back on the lean-to. I had intended to start to fit the new roof – the next project around here – but with no let-up in the rain, it was a case of doing what I could before I was soaked to the skin.<\/p>\n
That took until about 14:00 when the waterproof overall became waterlogged that I couldn’t move in it (and me with a streaming head cold too). And so that was it \u2013 I called it a day. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s only so much you can do in weather like that if you don’t want to die of pleurisy.<\/p>\n
The rest of the stuff from the UK was emptied out of Caliburn and then he was loaded up with the stuff I was taking to Brussels. As you know, I’ve been invited to spend this Christmas away from home and I need to take some stuff with me.<\/p>\n
And having organised all of that, to the best of my ability, I came in here, dried off and warmed up in front of the nice hot wood stove until it was time to go.<\/p>\n
Luckily I’d fuelled up at the Carrefour in Riom yesterday because I had no intention of leaving Caliburn’s cab in this kind of weather. The rain streamed down all the way without a break.<\/p>\n
I made it as far as Varzy where I flaked out at the side of the road. I have a feeling that this is going to be a very uncomfortable night. <\/p>\n
