I wasn&#8217;t tired at all and so it was rather later than I was hoping when I went to bed.<\/p>\n<p>During the night I&#8217;d been on my travels &#8211; something to do with being on a train but I&#8217;ve no idea about any more than that. But when the alarm went off, I just couldn&#8217;t bring myself to leave my bed. In fact, it was at 09:15 when I finally emerged, and that was a really bad start for the day.<\/p>\n<p>Much to my surprise, I&#8217;d had a reply from an enquiry that I sent out in early October. Not exactly the response for which I was hoping, but it&#8217;s a start. And so after breakfast I set to work.<\/p>\n<p>There was an interruption at 10:45 when the postie turned up. Now I have a keyboard that works quite nicely, and also my new 60-litre rucksack.<\/p>\n<p>Regular readers of this rubbish will recall that I bought a cheap rucksack from NOZ a while ago and I&#8217;ve been going back and to to Leuven with that &#8211; and it works just fine. But the quality was pretty rubbish and it wasn&#8217;t lasting the pace. So I&#8217;ve bought one that&#8217;s much better quality and I&#8217;ll be giving it a go with that.<\/p>\n<p>For lunch I had the rest of the squash and potato soup. And it was even more delicious today than it was yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Now I would have expected that with having had an unexpected lie-in this morning I would have been fighting-fit and raring to go in the afternoon. But instead I ended up crashing out.<\/p>\n<p>And good and proper too &#8211; right away with the fairies until 16;45 too. And by the time that I had my feet on the ground it was far too late to go for my afternoon walk.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m starting to worry about things like this. It&#8217;s not doing me any good at all.<\/p>\n<p>Tea was the rest of Liz&#8217;s vegan chili and it was even better than Saturday night. I&#8217;m really being looked after just now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1901\/1901018.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1901\/1901018.jpg\" alt=\"night thora port de granville harbour manche normandy france\" height=\"204\" width=\"300\"><\/a>I did however manage to make it out for my evening walk tonight. Just for a change, there were a couple of people out there tonight with me.<\/p>\n<p>And not only that, our old friend <em>Thora<\/em> was tied up at her berth underneath the crane. She&#8217;s apparently come into harbour on this afternoon&#8217;s tide.<\/p>\n<p>And I have to say that with the weather just now, it was another really good night.<br clear=\"all\"><\/p>\n<p>So now let&#8217;s see what&#8217;s going to happen tonight. It might be an early night or it might not. It doesn&#8217;t seem to make any difference.<\/p>\n<p>But now that I know what I need to be doing, I can get ready to send off another huge pile of letters. That should keep me out of mischief for a while.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-11540 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='11540' data-nonce='16ce856f7d' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-11540 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-11540 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='11540' data-nonce='16ce856f7d' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-11540 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-11540 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 I call a bad day Despite what I might have said yesterday, it wasn&#8217;t an early night.
