… of my film last night when I went to bed. The very first of the three Inspector Hornleigh films and although the character wasn’t as developed as in the later films, it’s still quite an enjoyable film.
I managed to stay awake too until the end, which is something of a surprise these days. I’m not as young as I used to be and it looks as if my days of being wide awake at 03:00 are long since gone.
I had a good night too. Apart from on trip down the corridor at about 04:00, I remember nothing at all until I awoke at 07:30. Not even if I had been anywhere during the night.
But we have a new cleaner today, and he’s already got on my wrong side. At about 08:10 he knocked on my room door to clean the room. I Staggered off for an early breakfast but when I came back, I discovered that he hadn’t been in. He finally turned up at 10:00, almost two hours after he had disturbed me.
That’s not all either. I went to make my butties at 13:00 and there he was – cleaning the kitchen. Who on this planet decides to clean a kitchen at lunchtime when everyone would be wanting to prepare their meals?
But when I was turfed out of my room, I went off and paid for the last week of my stay here. My situation will shortly start to become precarious as my 15 days will be up, but at least if I pay up promptly even before they send me a bill, then I have a good chance of being overlooked as long as there is room here for anyone else who wants to stay.
After that, I went out to shop for lunch and stocked up up hummus and salad, and there was also 1.5 litres of iced tea on offer at €0:69 so I added that to the supply.
This afternoon, I made a start on a project that I had abandoned for a couple of years. When I brought my blog in-house, the photos from the older incarnation needed updating and the meta tags needed to be added because they had somehow gone astray. I’d done some of it but then I was interrupted by other things. Anyway, this afternoon, I restarted the project and I’ll see how I get on. But one thing that it shows is that some of my motivation seems to have come back.
For tea, I went out for my pasta and tomato sauce and on the way, I found another Asian supermarket. That has an exciting stock too and I can see myself stocking up with supplies here too before I go back to France, if I ever do.
But tea was nice – I’ve been lucky with what I’ve found in the way of food up to now. And now I’ll be off for another early night. And who knows – I might even watch another film if I’m feeling up to it.
But tomorrow I’m back at the hospital. I’m not looking forward to that at all.
