… of a shame about last night.<\/p>\n

What with all of my efforts of recent days I made a point of going to bed at a relatively early hour last night so as to have a head start for today. But instead, I had one of the worst nights’ sleeps that I have had for a long time. One every unhappy bunny here again.<\/p>\n

But anyway I was up at a reasonable-ish early time nevertheless but I wasn’t in the mood for breakfast quite then. I ended up for a while talking to someone on the internet about nothing in particular.<\/p>\n

But after breakfast there were things to do, like another batch of photos to edit and a blog to update seeing that I didn’t do it before going to bed last night. <\/p>\n

Once all of that was out of the way I occupied myself with a knotty problem on the 3D program that I use. And while I’m none-the-wiser, I’m certainly better-informed. And it’s hard to believe that with having done nothing but that this morning, I ended up going for a late lunch.<\/p>\n

After that, it all went wrong.<\/p>\n

There’s lots to do here but firstly there was a crowd of neighbours hanging around outside the building so I went to join them. Regular readers of this rubbish will recall that I’m not the most sociable of people at the best of times, but when one is living ina close-knit community like this, one has to show willing.<\/p>\n

And even that was interrupted by the arrival of Gribouille the ginger cat who allowed me to pick him up and stroke him for a while, much to the surprise of everyone else.<\/p>\n

Once all that was out of the way there was only time for a coffee before it was time for me to go out for my afternoon walk. But at the moment where I was just about to put my sooty foot outside the door the heavens opened and we had another drenching. I dunno who it is up there, but just let him know that he missed me. <\/p>\n

Eventually it eased off and so I could go for my walk. And at least it kept the grockles out of my way which is also nice. I started off in my raincoat but by the time that I was back here it was boiling hot, clammy and close, and I was sweating. <\/p>\n

That reminded me that I had forgotten my shower this morning so I hopped underneath for a general clean-up. And I cut my hair as well seeing as it was getting all a bit long. <\/p>\n

While all of this was going on, Liz came on line with a computer problem that needed resolving, and Sandra wanted to chat about my plans for summer. Trying to fit my guitar practice in was all rather complicated. <\/p>\n

Tea was a frozen kidney bean and aubergine whatsit from out of the freezer and then I had a nice walk around the walls. <\/p>\n

\"normandy<\/a>There wasn’t a great deal going on on the seaward side of the walls, but round on the harbour side, I noticed that Normandy Trader<\/em> was back in port.<\/p>\n

She’s been in and out of here quite a lot just recently and so she must be getting a lot of work. And that reminds me that I haven’t seen anything of Grima<\/em> for a while. I shall have to make further enquiries <\/p>\n

And despite the huge piles of gravel building up on the quayside, we haven’t seen a gravel ship for a while either.
<\/p>\n

One ship that is back in port though, ready for the summer season, is the Marit\u00e9<\/em>. But she was moored in a position where I couldn’t take a decent photo.<\/p>\n

\"eglise<\/a>And why I was prowling around trying to find a good spec, it suddenly came into my mind that I had never taken a decent photograph of the turret house built into the walls by the Eglise de Notre Dame du Cap Lihou.<\/p>\n

So this seemed like as good an opportunity as ever to deal with that little issue. After all, it’s a beautiful house and I could quite happily live in one of those turrets, especially with the superb view that it has over the harbour.<\/p>\n

And now, I really AM going to have an early night.
<\/p>\n

I hope that it’s a good ‘un.<\/p>\n
