\u2026 work out like it ought to have done last night.<\/p>\n

I was so engrossed with what I was doing, as well as chatting to a friend in North America, that it was well after 02:00 when I realised the time. So much for my early night.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, despite any kind of temptation, I still had the alarms set for 06:00 etc and I was there or thereabouts when they went off. But as for rising from my stinking pit, well, I wasn’t quite so prompt.<\/p>\n

We had the usual morning procedure of course and then after a brief relax with a few things that I intended to do, I set to work.<\/p>\n

By the time that lunchtime had come round, I’d written a huge pile of letters, which involved a great deal of research, and printed them out. I’m glad that I had bought my new printer because it was simplicity itself and the printer did well.<\/p>\n

But I’ve put the kiss of death upon it because I’ve ordered some spare ink off the internet. That’s enough to kill off any printer.<\/p>\n

In fact, I’ve ordered a pile of stuff from the internet just now. A new computer screen as I mentioned, together with a powered USB hub and a keyboard for the new computer. As well as that, I’ve ordered a new 60-litre rucksack for my trips to Leuven and a power converter for the Roland bass cube<\/a> so that I can restart the bass-playing.<\/p>\n

And much to my surprise, by the end of the evening I noticed that some of the stuff was on its way.<\/p>\n

After lunch I had a shower and a clean-up, seeing that even I was beginning to notice that I was here. And then I hit the streets – down to the Post Office to post the huge pile of letters that I had written. And it wasn’t easy in the Post Office either as the automatic machine wouldn’t read my bank card.<\/p>\n

There was still some coffee left from this morning so I drank that when I returned, along with a slice of my Christmas present from Liz and Terry.<\/p>\n

With having had a late night and an early start, I couldn’t keep going and by 18:00 I was stretched out on the bed under the covers. And there I stayed until about 19:30. Definitely feeling the strain, I am.<\/p>\n

As a result, tea was rather late. The rest of the falafel from the other day, seeing as it had been hanging around for a few weeks, with pasta, veg and tomato sauce.<\/p>\n

\"night<\/a>Later on this evening, I went out for my evening walk.<\/p>\n

The weather outside was really beautiful this evening, even if it was cold out there tonight.<\/p>\n

The air was clear though and I could see for miles, all the way down past St Malo and along the Brittany coast.
<\/p>\n

So how about an early night tonight? This afternoon I made a start on another project and that is going to take a lot of work. But there’s a time limit involved and it’s quite important. Some of the letters that I wrote are in connection with this, but the Lord helps those who help themselves and years of bitter experience have told me that I can’t ever rely on anyone else to do things for me.<\/p>\n

And so I need my sleep.<\/p>\n
