… exertions of the weekend and all of these difficult nights just now, I slept like a baby last night.
Even though I should have been radioing, I switched off all of the alarms and that was that. I awoke a few times during the morning but when I finally left the bed at about 10:10 I was feeling like a new man.
Not surprising, because I’m pretty much fed up of this one.
No toaster in this apartment so I had to grill my bread on a hob element and it didn’t turn out too badly. I didn’t make the mistake of turning it full-on but just under half produced something that resembled toast as well as I can do it.
Actually I was feeling rather miserable and quite ill as it happened but nevertheless I staggered outside in the light drizzle to go to the shops.
At Delhaize I stocked up with food for the next few days and bought a can of energy drink for the journey back to my room. And I needed it too because my load was a little heavier than usual and I wasn’t feeling myself today.
Well, when you are carrying two shopping bags, you don’t have a free hand, do you?
Back here I chatted to the manager of the property. There were one or two things that I needed to organise and while I’m at it I asked about a toaster and sure enough, he provided me with one.
For some reason or other I wasn’t hungry today so I did without lunch. Instead I went through the music on the laptop and organised it properly. That helped me free up 30GB of space on here which is just as well because I’m starting to run out of space.
As well as that, this refugee issue reared its head again and I spent a lot of time trying to resolve what are seemingly unsolvable problems
There was still time to watch the highlights of some of the games of football at the weekend and then to transcribe the dictaphone notes. And there weren’t many of those as I hadn’t gone far. There was something about a landing craft full of people coming in to port but for some reason they couldn’t tie up so the captain wanted to beach the landing craft on the sand to let everyone come ashore that way but the ship hit a rock as it was manoeuvring onto the beach and sank offshore.
After tea I wrote out my notes but crashed out for half an hour halfway through. And I don’t understand that either – it’s not as if I’ve done much today.
Tomorrow I have my Welsh lesson and it should be interesting trying to do it on this laptop. It’s quicker than the laptop at home but the internet is slower here.
A good night’s sleep will do me good but I wonder if it will be as good as last night’s. Only one way to find out, isn’t there?
