Yes, the exertions of the last couple of weeks have really got me down, haven’t they?<\/p>\n
A late night last night didn’t help much, but then again that was balanced out by the fact that although the alarms went off as you might expect at 06:20 and 06:30, I just turned over and went back to sleep again. 09:00 is a much more reasonable time to be out and about.<\/p>\n
After the usual medicine performance I had breakfast and a shower and general clean-up, and then off out. Just outside, I bumped into one of the neighbours who told me that the remote controls for the new barrier are ready, so I added that to my list of things to do.<\/p>\n
First stop though was LIDL where I stocked up with a few things – nothing special. Next stop was the remote control, and then across the road to LeClerc, where I wasn’t quick enough with the phone camera to catch an old Renault 4CV that was driving around the car park.<\/p>\n
Nothing exciting in LeClerc so I came home and, picking up the coolbox out of Caliburn, packed everything away and put the coolbox soaking with bleach to clean it out.<\/p>\n
My lizard was there waiting for me on my wall when I went for a rather late lunch, and then back here, well, you know the rest of the story.<\/p>\n
Once I’d come round, I had a think about tea – for the first time in a week or more – and made myself some pasta and vegetables tossed in garlic powder, pepper and olive oil.<\/p>\n
While that was doing, I assembled a couple of little things that I had bought in IKEA and tidied up the first part of the European Cardboard Box Mountain.<\/p>\n
Once I’d washed up, the rubbish went into the bin across the road and I went for a walk around the headland. I need to restart my good habits.<\/p>\n
But my reverie was interrupted by a rather loud reversing siren coming from down one of the boats down in the harbour.<\/p>\n It turned out that one of the ferries, Granville<\/em> that go over to Jersey was in the process of reversing out of its berth at the Gare Maritime<\/em>.![\"jersey](\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1807\/1807263.jpg\")
<\/a>While I was walking around, I was miles away with my head in the clouds, as is my usual situation.<\/p>\n

<\/a>It seemed to me that it was rather a weird time to be going out on a ferry crossing, so I watched it for a while.<\/p>\n
