… rather late day today. In fact my timetable was pushed back quite considerably.<\/p>\n

It started quite late too – but then again it IS<\/strong> a Sunday and I’m allowed to lie in bed. No-one was happier than me to notice that the time when I awoke was 09:30. I’ve needed a night like that.<\/p>\n

Plenty of time to go on a ramble during the night and when I’ve made any sense (such as it is) of the incoherent ramblings on the dictaphone I’ll tell you all about it.<\/p>\n

So it was a slow start to the day and with it being a Sunday, I didn’t do much at all. 7 entries on the dictaphone was the most important part of the day’s work, and there were quite a few lengthy ones in there. That’s why I missed my morning walk and why I didn’t finish until after 16:00 (with an interruption for lunch of course).<\/p>\n

As well as the lengthy ones that I mentioned, there was another one where I fell asleep again in mid-dictate so I’ll never know how that one ended.<\/p>\n

\"storm<\/a>One thing that I did was to find the time to go outside for my afternoon walk.<\/p>\n

This storm, which has a name by the way, was still raging outside with an incredible violence. There were times when any kind of forward progress was impossible, with Temp\u00e8te Am\u00e9lie<\/em> blowing me backwards.<\/p>\n

But nevertheless I kept on pushing forwards. As Bob Dylan once famously said, “the only thing I knew how to do was to keep on keepin’ on”<\/a>
<\/p>\n

\"storm<\/a>In the absence of the morning walk I went on an extended hike around the headland on the new path and then down and back through the town.<\/p>\n

As I rounded the headland, I was out of the worst of the storm but even here in the Baie de Mont St Michel it’s whipping itself up into a frenzy.<\/p>\n

And, surprisingly, despite the violence of the wind, there was a fog of sorts out there. And the answer to that clearly isn’t Blowin’ in the wind, is it?
<\/p>\n

Back home and fuelling up with a nice warm coffee, I cracked on with updating the web pages and that’s another pile of those done. I’m making progress with that.<\/p>\n

But I was so carried away that I ran past tea-time and it was 20:00 when I started to prepare the pizza. And then after half an hour and it still hadn’t cooked, I realised that I had had the setting for the heat turned down. No wonder things took so long yesterday.<\/p>\n

Still, it was delicious, and so was the rice pudding that followed it down.<\/p>\n

\"fishing<\/a>Totally alone on my evening walk tonight. But then again it was 22:00.<\/p>\n

Not quite alone though. There was a trawler heading off out into the open seas despite the storm. People still have to eat, so fishermen still need to fish.<\/p>\n

And my hat goes off to them going out there in weather like this.<\/p>\n

At one stage of my walk I broke into a run again, and I managed to do the full length of my little track. Mind you, I bet that I’ll suffer for it tonight.
<\/p>\n

A busy day tomorrow so I’m off to bed early. I’ll let you know how the Day of Judgement went.<\/p>\n
