… a late night last night and with no alarm, it was 08:58 this morning when I awoke.
I’d been on my travels too – helping to unravel a very peculiar situation where they discovered that the descendants of the two princes born to a King in the first half of the 17th Century had plenty of DNA on the mother’s side but none whatsoever on the paternal side, meaning that the King was certainly not their father and implying that they had no right to inherit the throne, hence all of their descendants including the current Royal Family, were usurpers to the throne.
A little later, I was out in my old Passat estate driving somewhere where, going round something of a blind bend, I encountered a big yellow crane coming out of a field and I had to swerve around it. The interesting thing about that though was that I was driving on the left-hand side of the road as in the uK. So that was highly unlikely.
Despite the late awakening, I was in no hurry to heave myself out of my stinking pit. And so in consequence it was a rather late breakfast. Followed, as it’s Thursday, by a good shower, some clean clothes and a general clean-up. I have to make an effort.
By the time that I summoned up the effort to go to LIDL it was rather late in the morning. But the stride out did me the world of good. There wasn’t anything on special offer that I needed, but seeing as the nuts are still on offer and the sell-by date is 6 months in advance, I bought a couple more packets.
Back here, after lunch I carried on unpacking and did a little sorting out, but once more I ended up away with the fairies. And for quite a while too
As a result it was going dark when I finally made my way outside.
The headlad around the Pointe du Roc was pretty deserted which was hardly a surprise given the wind that was blowing. And there seemed to be quite a storm raging over the Ile de Chausey
I’m glad that I wasn’t out there in all of that. It looked quite miserable.
Things looked slightly better away across on the Brittany coast.
It was still quite light in that direction and relatively clear too. The new 50mm lens was picking up the lights in the villages on the coast quite easily and I was pleased with that.
I’m not sure about the bright light that seems to be just offshore. We’ve seen a couple of brightly-illuminated fishing boats here at Granville so it might be one of those.
Tea was a frozen curry with rice and veg – a curry that I made on 17th November … last year! I need to go through the freezer and tidy it out to see what else there is in there.
And now I’m going to try for an early night again. The alarm goes off at 06:00 tomorrow morning and I need to get back into the swing of things. There’s plenty of work to do.
