… gone to the football this evening. US Granville were playing the reserves of Paris St Germain at 18:00 and that was bound to be an occasion.<\/p>\n
But instead I’d had a “communication” from one of the neighbours. Yves and Lili are moving out and a new tenant will be moving in shortly. They decided to have a farewell dinner, I was invited and the new tenant was there so I reckoned that I had better attend.<\/p>\n
Not like me to be sociable but there are things that you have to do.<\/p>\n
Last night I had a decent sleep and was up and about pretty smartly once the alarms had gone off.<\/p>\n
And after breakfast I had a good shower and a clean-up. With the heater in the bathroom too. It’s definitely coming on to winter now.<\/p>\n
On the way out to Caliburn I took the rubbish out to the skips, and then headed off to LIDL. As well as the usual stuff I bought another portable battery, seeing as they had some 3000mAh ones on offer at \u20ac12:99. The dashcam in Caliburn has a motion sensor that starts up the cam if Caliburn is knocked, but it needs a power supply to operate it when Caliburn’s ignition is turned off.<\/p>\n
At NOZ they had some maps of France on special offer. Last year’s at just e4:99 so one of those is now in Caliburn for when I might go off on a voyage again. That replaces a map of 2002.<\/p>\n
LeClerc came up with a crate of clementines. It must be getting close to Christmas. And a pile of coffee too seeing as I’m running out. The secret ingredient that I put in coffee makes all of the difference.<\/p>\n
It took ages to return home, being stuck behind grockles and policemen holding up the traffic. <\/p>\n
Lunch should have been on the wall in the sunshine but the wind blew me back in before I’d even sat down on the wall.<\/p>\n
We had a cookery afternoon here, with me making some of my lentil, pepper and mushroom curries to take with me a-visiting.<\/p>\n
It was a nice, quiet sociable evening but I came back here at 20:30 for the football. Bala Town v Cardiff Metro in the Welsh Premier League, and the home team ran out 3-0 victors in a rainstorm. <\/p>\n
The big difference between the teams was Henry Jones. He’s several classes above the rest of the players in the Welsh Premier League – when he feels like it. Like much of the Welsh Premier League, there’s a big issue about consistency – they can do it now and again, but not all the time. Today though, he had one of the best games that I have ever seen him play. <\/p>\n
In contrast, The Met’s principal playmaker, Eliot Evans, had something of an off-day and looked not even the shadow of the player he can be.<\/p>\n
But now I have the halogen heater on in the bedroom. The outside temperature has dropped to 8\u00b0C right now and it’s only 11\u00b0C in here.<\/p>\n
The central heating goes on tomorrow.<\/p>\n
