Up to that point, he had been as much a spectator as we were.<br clear=\"both\"><\/p>\n<p>Last night was another bad night for me, despite all of my efforts. At one point, I noticed that it was 04:26 and I was still awake. But 10:01 is a much more reasonable time to leave my stinking pit, that&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>It took me a while though to come round, and an 11:00 breakfast on a Sunday is always welcome. <\/p>\n<p>The plan today was to go into town to the shops and the <em>brocante<\/em>, but with the news about Granville&#8217;s football match I put everything on hold.<\/p>\n<p>With having had a late breakfast I didn&#8217;t need lunch, but I took some biscuits and a banana along with the thermos flask (and of course the building was open, wasn&#8217;t it?) to keep me going.<\/p>\n<p>It had been snowing out at Roncey but here it was a nice sunny afternoon, with a little wind and not too cold.
