And so it was a late breakfast and a late start.<\/p>\n<p>For much of the day I was working on the portable hard drive with some of the files off the desktop computer, tidying them up and moving them about. But I&#8217;m hardly scratching the surface right now. I did uncover some long-lost 3D files in several compressed *.rar files and so I transferred them over onto the laptop and opened them up. That led to something of a tidy-up of files there too.<\/p>\n<p>While I was at it, I had a little play around with the 3D program. It&#8217;s been a while since I had a go at that. But this laptop isn&#8217;t powerful enough to run it correctly so it wasn&#8217;t as easy as it might have been. I really am going to have to sort out a new desktop computer, seeing as I&#8217;ll be staying here now for the duration.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch was taken indoors again &#8211; I reckon that outdoor picnicking is finished now until the Spring.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1812\/1812054.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1812\/1812054.jpg\" alt=\"storm port de granville harbour baie de mont st michel manche normandy france\" height=\"204\" width=\"300\"><\/a>The wind outside today was wicked and it was a struggle to take myself out of doors in the hurricane and drenching rain.<\/p>\n<p>But the inclement weather wasn&#8217;t going to keep me indoors.<\/p>\n<p>Around the Pointe du Roc this afternoon watching the storm raging in the Baie de Mont St Michel, but the tide was too far out for any spectacular wave-crashing scenes.<br clear=\"all\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1812\/1812055.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1812\/1812055.jpg\" alt=\"fishing boats storm port de granville harbour baie de mont st michel manche normandy france\" height=\"204\" width=\"300\"><\/a>The inclement weather wasn&#8217;t going to keep the fishing boats indoors either.<\/p>\n<p>They had all been out there fishing today, and it was quite interesting watching them struggling into the harbour from the Baie de Mont St Michel with their catches.<\/p>\n<p><em>Chapeau<\/em> to those in peril on the sea out there. I don&#8217;t mind doing it in that kind of weather once in a while but it would get on my wick on a regular basis<br clear=\"all\"><\/p>\n<p>And much to my surprise, one of the students from the College Malraux decided to engage me in conversation.

There were the rest of the potatoes, some carrots, peas and leeks, and while I had been rummaging through the freezer the other day I&#8217;d found frozen curries going back over a year, so tonight I had a lentil and pepper curry with them &#8211; a curry that was dated 17th October 2017.<\/p>\n<p>And it was still just as delicious as it was when I made it too. And I&#8217;ll be going through the freezer on a regular basis from now on to empty out some of the oldest frozen meals.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow is shopping day so I&#8217;ll be out looking for supplies. That calls for an early night but we shall see about that. I&#8217;ve not been doing as well with my early nights as I would like to.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1812\/1812050.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
