At least I had an unexpected and welcome lie-in.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d been on my travels too. Dealing with issues of about two inches of water on the kitchen table and worktops (and how it was staying on there without running off I really don&#8217;t know) with tons of bits of bread all soaked in it. And I was using some kind of net to fish it out so that it didn&#8217;t wash down the drain and block it up.<\/p>\n<p>As a result I had a very late start to my day, which I have spent mainly catching up with the photos (which are now up-to-date). On Monday some time I&#8217;ll have to start adding them to the blog entries.<\/p>\n<p>But about 15 minutes of the day was also spent curled up on my chair asleep. Despite the lie-in and the brazil nuts, I can&#8217;t escape from this fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>There was lunch of course, and for tea I found a curry in the freezer. Only three months old too. But the freezer is pretty crowded at the moment and I&#8217;m running out of carrots. I&#8217;ll have to buy some more tomorrow and hope that in the meantime the freezer will empty itself a little.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1903\/1903285.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1903\/1903285.jpg\" alt=\"peche a pied granville manche normandy france\" height=\"204\" width=\"300\"><\/a>The walks were something of a disappointment in the sense that for the whole day we had a sea mist that obscured the view.<\/p>\n<p>But with there being the lowest tides of the year right now, the <em>pecheurs \u00e0 pied<\/em> &#8211; those who go scavenging in the rock pools along the coast &#8211; were out there in force right now.<\/p>\n<p>One of my neighbours was down there too somewhere and he showed me his collection of <em>fruits de mer<\/em> later in the day.<br clear=\"all\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1903\/1903287.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1903\/1903287.jpg\" alt=\"world war 2 bunker atlantic wall granville manche normandy france\" height=\"204\" width=\"300\"><\/a>But regular readers of this rubbish will recall that I mentioned a while ago that there was some talk of opening up some of the bunkers of the Atlantic Wall to make some kind of museum.<\/p>\n<p>I noticed today that one of them has been opened up, there&#8217;s some kind of grille or grating placed across the opening and they seem to have started work inside it.<\/p>\n<p>So perhaps we&#8217;ll have our museum after all.<br clear=\"all\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1903\/1903292.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1903\/1903292.jpg\" alt=\"night place d'armes granville manche normandy france\" height=\"204\" width=\"300\"><\/a>And this evening I was once more alone on my travels around the walls.<\/p>\n<p>As I said earlier, there was a sea mist out there and it was making the surroundings look all rather surreal.<\/p>\n<p>The buildings of the Place d&#8217;Armes looked quite Gothic in this sort of lighting.<br clear=\"all\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1903\/1903293.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1903\/1903293.jpg\" alt=\"night place d'armes granville manche normandy france\" height=\"204\" width=\"300\"><\/a>And so I took a couple of photographs of them this evening, using different camera settings.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the results in these two photos here.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve managed to see both my cats today.
