… that I said on Wednesday about late nights, it was 01:00 in the morning this morning and I was still up and about. I could have stayed up longer too, but it was getting a little bit ridiculous to be up and about just for the sake of it, so I settled down in my bed and waited for sleep to come.
And come it did too, sooner or later. And I remember absolutely nothing about the night. I didn’t even have to leave my bed. I slept right through until the alarm went off and how I wish that I could sleep like that every day.
I’d run out of fruit juice, so I remembered this morning, and so I had to make do without any for breakfast. And talking of breakfast, we were just three in the dining room this morning (although some new people have arrived today too).
After breakfast, I had some bad news. A phone call in fact. “This is reception here. Just to remind you that your stay here ends on Monday morning. Thank you for being with us”.
That’s bad news as I was banking on something rather more long-term than this as you know. Anyway, I’ve managed to negotiate a stay until I go into hospital and then I really shall be on my own when I come out.
And my luck didn’t change much either when I was out. Just round the corner is an old building that looks as if it’s just been renovated. And there in the window was a sign “Rooms to let – €385 per month plus €65 charges”. That kind of place is well within my budget and so I made further enquiries and to my dismay, viewing is on 30th April – when I’m in hospital. That kind of place would have been ideal for me to stay.
As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve had a quiet day today and not done much at all. But tonight I found a new eatery. I had a huge lump of bread filled with salad and falafel, together with a bag of chips and it all came to €7:50. There was enough there to keep me going for a week and it was delicious too. I’ve added it on to my list of places.
And now I really am going to go to bed. I need a good sleep because I need to have a good clean-up tomorrow morning. Alison is coming shopping in the town and so we’ve arranged to meet up for a coffee. I need to look my best, if I can, as well as to be on my best behaviour if I’m being seen in the company of others.
