… was to start to clean up and tidy up.

And having had something like a reasonable sleep last night, I was probably feeling more like it this morning.

But first, there was a little task to perform. Last night I did a duplicate file search on a few of the directories that I had been sorting. But my file eliminator wasn’t able to handle the 3.1gb of files and stalled. And I wasn’t in the mood last night to restart it.

So this morning I set it off again. And it took a good couple of hours to work its way through the files that I had found. As a result it was a rather late breakfast this morning.

When I was eventually ready, the first job was to attack the fridge. I emptied it out and put the contents on the worktop, and then stuck the fridge in the bath for it to defrost.

While we were defrosting, I washed the fridge shelves and containers. Now they are nice and clean.

It was then the turn of the vacuum cleaner, and the living room and kitchen area had a good going-over, followed by a wash of the kitchen floor with a mixture of bleach, disinfectant and detergent.

That all took me up to lunch so it was off to the wall with my book and my butties. And my lizard too. He was there to meet me and have his pear bits.

Back here I cleaned out the fridge and then put it back where it belongs. It’s had a rearrangement of things too and all of this has made a little more room inside.

But all of this was a little too much for me and I was out like a light for an hour or so. These crashings-out seem to be getting longer and longer, don’t they?

Tea wasn’t very much because I wasn’t all that hungry. A few veg and a vegan burger in gravy. And while it was cooking I did some tidying up in the living room. Aren’t I getting all civilised?

It was a beautiful evening to go for a walk. You could see for miles and miles.

Right away in the distance is the wind farm out near Barneville-Carteret and you could see it quite clearly this evening, even though it’s 70-odd kilometres away by my estimation.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to see it so clearly.

And that wasn’t all either.

The view across the Baie de Mont St Michel was impressive too. You could see right down past St Malo all the way down to Cap Fréhel – about 50 or 60 kms away – this evening too.

What was sad though was that there were so few people out there enjoying it. They really did all miss something splendid.

Tomorrow I shall have to do some shopping. So a shower and a walk up to LIDL is called for. I hope that I’ll be in the mood for it because I’ve been feeling the strain just recently.

But the 1st of August already. I wonder where I’ll be at the end of the month?
