… day this has been. And I’m having far too many of these just recently.<\/p>\n

Not going to bed until 03:30 probably has something to do with it, especially when I did manage to struggle from my stinking pit at 06:30 when the alarms went off.<\/p>\n

But the wisdom of that decision was called into question because after having the usual medication routine, I sat down on the sofa to rest awhile, and the next thing that I knew was that it was 11:00. I’ve not had a complete crash-out like this for quite a while, have I?<\/p>\n

So a very late breakfast indeed today.<\/p>\n

What was even worse was that I wasn’t in much of a mood to do very much. But a whole pile of reading matter has come my way in connection with my little project that I mentioned yesterday, so I downloaded it all and set about reading it, and making a few notes. And I’m already seeing quite a lot of logistics difficulties that need to be overcome.<\/p>\n

But then, many people just have problems. However I have solutions. And I’ll solve these problems or else die in the attempt. And as time has gone on during the day, I’m much more clear about what I want to do and how I intend to do it.<\/p>\n

Lunch was taken at about 16:30, and that wasn’t without its difficulties either. I’d forgotten to fetch some bread from the freezer, but no matter. I went for a walk into town and picked up one of my favourite baguettes.<\/p>\n

\"roadstone<\/a>Remember yesterday when we saw Neptune<\/em> sailing out of the harbour with another load of roadstone for Whitstable?<\/p>\n

It didn’t take them long to start topping up the gravel bins again, did it?<\/p>\n

We might be expecting the Neptune<\/em> to make a quick aller-retour<\/em> with all of the roadstone being accumulated like this.
<\/p>\n

\"house<\/a>Another thing of which we had seen plenty is the renovation of many of the houses in the rue du Port.<\/p>\n

We’ve noticed two so far and it seems no that they are starting on a third one.<\/p>\n

We don’t have a crane installed yet, but I imagine that this will be arriving any day now. They don’t seem to be able to do anything in the building line without a crane.
<\/p>\n

\"tide<\/a>Having made my butties, I sat on the wall with my book and had a good look over the harbour.<\/p>\n

The tide was almost out and all of the boats down there had settled down onto the silt.<\/p>\n

My two lizards were there for company too, waiting for the bits of pear to fall onto the ground. And with the pear being well-overripe, there were plenty of bits to go round without them having to fight.
<\/p>\n

On the way back, I met another neighbour on the car park and we had a good chat for quite a while. And then I came back up here where, shame as it is to admit it, the next thing that I knew was that it was 20:00. I’d gone off again!<\/p>\n

Still time to do a few bits of work though, and I cracked on and at least managed to salvage something from the wreckage of today. My little project is slowly starting to come together, although a couple of my plans are changing and it’s going to stretch my budget more than I anticipated. But this is no time for the faint-hearted.<\/p>\n

And of course, I’ve still not resolved this application issue, have I?<\/p>\n

So leaving that alone for a while, I went for my evening walk. It’s cooled down over the last couple of days so it was quite pleasant, but there was nothing going on of note.<\/p>\n

However I had remembered something else that I needed to do, but that can only be done during office hours. But nevertheless I did some research when I came back, and it seems that it can be resolved quite easily.<\/p>\n

But then again, this time it really does involve a phone call to Belgium, so I’m not holding my breath.<\/p>\n

So here we are, 22:30 and here I am, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Not feeling in the least like going to sleep.<\/p>\n

We’ll probably end up tomorrow with another day like today, I reckon.<\/p>\n
