And with chatting about this and that, and all things considered, it was about 22:15 when we hung up.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago, that would have been broad daylight. But not so tonight. Cold, cloudy, windy &#8211; and dark! I can&#8217;t wait for it to be dark at a sensible hour so that I can have an hour outside <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2tRc7SX\" target=\"_blank\">with the new camera<\/a> and see just how good its much-vaunted &#8220;low light&#8221; facility might be. <\/p>\n<p>And Rosemary is just as bewildered as I am about what is happening in the UK right now. But don&#8217;t get me started on politics. I vowed that I would avoid them in this reincarnation of the blog.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d had a really good night&#8217;s sleep too. out like a light without a care in the world. And off on a mega-ramble too that was so exciting that I reached for the dictaphone to record it. And by the time that I&#8217;d put my hand upon the aforementioned, every single thought about where I&#8217;d been had completely evaporated.<\/p>\n<p>Something that&#8217;s happening far too often these days.<\/p>\n<p>After breakfast and a nice shower, I went off to the shops. And apart from a pack of button-cell batteries on offer in LIDL (I remember thinking when I had the remote-control issues the other day that I didn&#8217;t have any of those) I bought nothing exciting at all.<\/p>\n<p>My trip &#8211; just to LIDL and LeClerc, came to a mere \u20ac23:00 and I was back here for 11:00. <\/p>\n<p>But I do like the frozen vegetables in LeClerc, and when I come back, I&#8217;ll be buying a small freezer. The choice is endless and won&#8217;t that improve my diet! <\/p>\n<p>Frozen veg is generally fresher than fresh veg, and you have much more choice &#8211; living alone means that you can only buy small quantities, and they don&#8217;t do small quantities of leeks, sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, that kind of thing.<\/p>\n<p>And diesel &#8211; down to \u20ac1:10 at LeClerc &#8211; and queues a mile long too.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch was on the wall as usual in the uncertain weather, and the Woman With The Dog came to say hello. As I said, people are noticing me now. I&#8217;m not sure whether that is a good or bad thing. <\/p>\n<p>Apart from that, I&#8217;ve been on the blog doing the Canada 2012 updating. It&#8217;s not easy and I&#8217;ve only managed to unravel two pages &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/?p=236\" target=\"_blank\">this one<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/?p=9544\" target=\"_blank\">this one<\/a> &#8211; so far. <\/p>\n<p>But never mind the slow progress &#8211; that&#8217;s two more pages than were done yesterday so we&#8217;re heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>The big question is though &#8211; will I finish this rewriting, or will the rewriting finish me? <\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-9546 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='9546' data-nonce='59a919cba4' 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-9546 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-9546 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='9546' data-nonce='59a919cba4' 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-9546 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-9546 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I&#8217;ve been for a walk in the dark.
