… curled up quite nicely in Liz and Terry’s spare bed. We have an early start tomorrow morning so to save time I’ve come here tonight.<\/p>\n

This morning though I was up fairly early and manage to make a good start to the day. And after the usual rigmarole I had a shower and then set the washing machine to work. I need to have all of the clothes properly cleaned.<\/p>\n

Things were strange in the shops today. I went out much earlier than usual. At LIDL they were still selling their “back to school” stuff but there wasn’t anything else that I needed after Thursday’s visit. Mind you, the grapes at \u20ac1:99 per kilo were interesting so I bought a huge bunch.<\/p>\n

\"poor<\/a>But NOZ Was certainly interesting. <\/p>\n

We started as we meant to go on with yet another fine example of parking round on the car park at the back. I really don’t know what goes on in the head of some people. I really don’t.<\/p>\n

As for the shop itself, the place was half-empty as far as stock goes. There wasn’t very much on the shelves at all so there wasn’t very much that I wanted to buy. And when I did reach the check-outs I joined the lengthy queue waiting for someone to appear at the check-outs. <\/p>\n

After 10 minutes of waiting for the till to be personned, I abandoned my purchases and left the shop. I have better things to do than to wait around like this.
<\/p>\n

LeClerc across the road didn’t come up with all that much. But then again, I wasn’t really shopping for much. No point in having food around here if I’m not going to be here to eat it.<\/p>\n

Lunch was spent on the wall with my lizards and my book, and then this afternoon I loaded up Caliburn with all of the plastic boxes that had been lying around since I moved in. They are going on a little travel too.<\/p>\n

\"Association<\/a>The football season starts today and US Granville are playing Association Sportive Furiani-Agliani -the first time ever apparently that a club from Corsica has played at the Stade Louis Dior.<\/p>\n

A whole raft of new players this season, but they seemed to have picked up all of the bad habits of the old players. A careless ball out of defence to an opposition attacker led to a penalty, and only a good save from the new goalkeeper prevented the Corsicans from scoring.<\/p>\n

But that was typical of how the game went from a Granville point of view. And two soft goals conceded from free kicks underlined the careless play.<\/p>\n

Granville may well have signed a whole host of new players, but not a centre-forward, so it seemed. There was a big n\u00b09 out there but he wasn’t doing too much at all in midfield and I’m not sure why he was on the field.<\/p>\n

The fact that they scored three goals (and won the game) was quite by accident. <\/p>\n

The first one was from a long throw – one of the longest that I’ve seen – that took everyone by surprise after just two and a half minutes.<\/p>\n

The second was a free kick driven low into the crowded penalty area which hit a defender and went in the net, and the third was the Corsican goalkeeper and two of his defenders waiting for each other to clear the ball, giving time for a Granville winger to run in and smash the ball into the net.<\/p>\n

Granville did in the end produce a huge n\u00b014 who went up front in the final stages of the game but I couldn’t see what his purpose on the field was either. He didn’t seem to be up to this level of the game at all.
<\/p>\n

From there I went to fuel up and then out to Liz and Terry’s for tea, followed by an early night.<\/p>\n

We have a lot to do tomorrow.<\/p>\n
