… night I had last night.<\/p>\n

It seems as if I hadn’t slept for a single moment although on reflection I must have been because at one point I was off on a voyage somewhere and when I find my dictaphone I can tell you all about it.<\/p>\n

However, tossing and turning all night, I was eventually up and about at 07:20, to find that it is of course 08:20 because the clocks went forward this morning and we are now on summer time.<\/p>\n

And that’s rather appropriate right now what with me stripping off yesterday and it looking quite good this morning too.<\/p>\n

And much to my surprise, and probably the surprise of regular readers of this rubbish, who recall that I don’t usually work on a Sunday, I had a very productive morning.<\/p>\n

First task was to find a pile of information that someone had asked for. That involved downloading a pile of stuff from the internet and reviewing it. And then organising a couple of links.<\/p>\n

Once I’d done that, it reminded me that I had a form to fill in and send off. This is going to commit me to something quite significant but it’s one of those things that if I don’t do it right now, I probably won’t ever to do it again, and not for the obvious reason either.<\/p>\n

So that’s now out of the way, but I’m expecting some “further correspondence” about it all. It’s quite inevitable.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, I realised that I hadn’t booked any of my travel and accommodation needs for my next trip to Castle Anthrax. And so that’s now done and at the same time I booked my train from Brussels to Leuven. Since I’ve been buying those tickets in advance, I’ve never had them checked at all. You can bet your life that the only time I’ll be asked for them will be the time that I forget to buy them.<\/p>\n

Another thing that I needed to do was to obtain the complementary information for my new passport. So I did all of that, only to find that I was actually on the wrong site and ended up wasting $29:00 which I won’t ever get back. A moment’s inattention has cost me dear.<\/p>\n

And finally, I needed to contact a friend in Toronto about some issue that I might be having. But for once, she’s not on line. And so I’ll need to think again about that or find another work-around.<\/p>\n

All of that took me up to a rather late lunch, so forsaking my usul habits, I had lunch sitting on the sofa watching the football. Connah’s Quay Nomads in the Welsh Cup semi-final against Cardiff Metro.<\/p>\n

The Nomads won 3-0, which might make you thing that it was a pretty one-sided match, but that was far from the case.<\/p>\n

The Met hit the woodwork three times, and had Will Fuller in the met goal not been recovering from a serious injury that has kept him out for a year, he would have been off his line to intercept a long ball out of the Nomads’ defence that led directly to their third goal.<\/p>\n

And so the final will be, rather predictably, between TNS and the Nomads and with TNS having beaten the Nomads on every occasion this year, the result should be a foregone conclusion.<\/p>\n

\"swimmers<\/a>It was walk-time after that. Around the walls with the crowds of people out enjoying the afternoon sun. And who can blame them too because it really was nice.<\/p>\n

There were even a few people out there swimming, but I thought that that was rather extreme.<\/p>\n

I’m not really convinced that I would have been happy to have been on the beach just now. Not in my cozzy anyway.
<\/p>\n

\"yachts<\/a>There were crowds of yachts out there yesterday making the most of the weather.<\/p>\n

And today, there were even more of them out there too. It was a shame though that there was so much haze on the horizon. You wouldn’t get to see very much out there.<\/p>\n

One of these days I’m going to have to find a way to go out there for a sail around. I need to cultivate a couple of maritime mates.
<\/p>\n

There were things to do here when I returned but I ended up talking to a couple of people on the internet instead. I really need to stop being so distracted.<\/p>\n

Later on, I made a huge cornish pasty.<\/p>\n

While I was searching through the freezer the other day I came across a pile of curry that I had made for some project or other that had been left over. And so yesterday I had bought some rolled pastry only a square one this time, and this evening I put the stuff in it and folded it over.<\/p>\n

While that was going on, I made my pizza and it was delicious. Even though I say it myself, it was the best that I have ever<\/p>\n

On my evening walk around the headland I was totally alone. There wasn’t a soul about, even though it was still comparatively light.<\/p>\n

But by the time that I came back I was so tired that I did only half of what I was intending, and then crawled into bed.<\/p>\n

I’d had enough.<\/p>\n
