… I made my way last night to an early bed and crashed out rather promptly.

And bearing in mind just how tired and fed up I had been during the day yesterday, no-one was more surprised than me to be wide awake at 06:15. And on a Sunday too!

But if anyone thinks that I’m going to be out of bed on a Sunday morning at that time then they are completely mistaken. 08:54 is a much more respectable time to be out of bed.

Having taken some time to organise myself, it ended up being a very late breakfast. But with no fig roll or anything else to fill it out, you could hardly call it a brunch.

First task, and the most important one too, was to arrange my hotel for my next trip to Castle Anthrax. And as I suspected (and hoped), Liège did the business for me. I like Premier Class hotels and there’s one on the edge of the city with an IKEA to the right, a Kinepolis to the left and a motorway exit behind me.

Even better, the motorway is the motorway that runs from Germany to Brussels past Leuven, and is only a mile or so from where the motorway down to Charleroi and Paris forks off.

The price is more expensive than I was hoping, but just about everywhere is booked up that week as we know. In fact, within a 50km radius of Liège there were only 26 hotels of any kind that had any accommodation at all. Beggars can’t be choosers.

Next job was to sort out all of the photos from Leuven just now and to edit some of the blog entries to include the missing photos. So you might need to scan back a couple of days or so.

While we’re on the subject of photos, remember that ancient, very creaky hard drive that I rediscovered the other day after years of searching? I’ve been working on that too and recovered about 99% of the data on it. What’s lost is lost, unfortunately, but I was lucky to rescue that much, I reckon. I’ve been at that all day and it’s only just this minute finished copying what it can.

As well as all that, I’ve done a little unpacking too – not a lot but there was some stuff to go in the fridge and the quicker I started, the quicker I could finish.

We’ve had the usual two walks today – football has finished ow for the summer – and another really good vegan pizza for tea which always goes down well of course.

And that’s quite enough for a Sunday. I’m going to have another early night, ready to Fight The Good Fight tomorrow.

Back to work on Monday.
