… didn’t turn out like it should have done, and that was rather disappointing.
You may remember that I fancied chips, beans and vegan sausages. But firstly, the Carrefour had no vegan sausages. And while Alison had bought me some beans and malt vinegar, the Carrefour couldn’t produce any oven chips.
Well, it could. But in the LIDL in France you can buy a 800-gram bag for about €0:99 and that’s enough for two meals. But there’s nothing like that here. Belgium really is the land of the chip and there’s nothing less than 2kgs here and I have no way of keeping that much.
In the end, I had to settle for a 1kg bag of oven croquettes which is nothing like the same, and a couple of vegan curry burgers. This was something of a let-down, I can tell you.
Last night was another disturbed night, and for no good reason too. I don’t know why I’m having difficulty sleeping just now but it’s rather upsetting. Here we’re in almost-perfect quite with just two or three other guests of good habits, and I can’t take advantage of it.
I’ve not done too much today – in fact round about lunchtime I crashed out again for half an hour. But I did make it down to the Carrefour near the football ground for shopping. And as it happens, I forgot most of the things that I had intended to buy – and I’ve run out of pasta so that’s bad news.
But tomorrow night I have more croquettes, another burger and the rest of the beans. But no more Christmas pudding- I finished off the last of that tonight.
Now I’m going to have an early night and hope for the best. I’ve not managed to free off the mouse on the new laptop so I’ll have to continue with that tomorrow. I’m wondering if I’ve managed to get a biscuit crumb stuck under the mouse key – something silly like that.
