<\/a>Rather later than usual, I headed out of the apartment for the shops for the midweek shopping.<\/p>\nOne thing about living in a medieval walled city is that transport is extremely difficult. Deliveries in large lorries are quite impossible.<\/p>\n
The solution is that if your products do come in a large vehicle they need to be trans-shipped into a smaller vehicle that can pass through the gateways and into the old town.<\/p>\n
Still, it’s a small price to pay.

In the Square Potel there are all kinds of interesting and weird sculptures around and about. But today, the local council have sent a cherry-picker to do something with the metal crocodile or whatever it is.<\/p>\n Into town and up the hill to LIDL I went. But I was interrupted on the way by a telephone call. The guy who manages the radio station telephoned me to ask me how I was and to update me with the latest news.<\/p>\n We were on the phone for about half an hour all told. At LIDL I didn’t buy anything out of the ordinary today. Just the usual stuff that is running low, and a big bunch of grapes of course. I really want a nail brush but I couldn’t find one there. I shall have to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n On the way back I stopped off at La Mie Caline for my dejeunette<\/em> today and then walked – or rather, staggered – on back up the hill.<\/p>\n Chausiais<\/em> was manoeuvring her way into the ferry terminal today. It looks as if she has another load of freight to deliver to the Ile de Chausey.<\/p>\n I had to have a pause for breath half-way up the hill too. That’s not like me at all but it’s an indication of how I’m feeling and how my health is degenerating these days.<\/p>\n It’s rather sad, isn’t it? Back here I organised myself a little and then, shame as it is to say it, I crashed out on the chair. About 90 minutes or so, I reckon. That is really depressing.<\/p>\n Lunch was therefore rather late and then I cracked on with the radio programme. I missed my afternoon walk which is a shame, but I wanted to make progress. And when I knocked off I’d finished the entire show except for the final track and the closing speech.<\/p>\n That I can do tomorrow but it’s depressing me, what I usually do in about a day and a half taking a whole week.<\/p>\n Tea was steamed vegetables with vegetable balls and vegan cheese sauce, followed by apple crumble and soya dessert.<\/p>\n There was a really high wind tonight but apart from that it was a really nice evening. There was a really nice red sky out to sea in the general direction of the UK.<\/p>\n Still, you know what they say – And they are probably correct as well. All kinds of things are going on over there right now. It certainly was bright and clear tonight – one of the nicest that i’ve seen it. So even without a tripod, I took a photo of it with the BIG ZOOM LENS<\/a>.<\/p>\n Back here, I wrote up my notes and now I’m off to bed. I’m going to have an early night seeing as I’m feeling really tired right now.<\/p>\n A good sleep will probably do me the world of good and one of these days I might start to feel better. I hope that it won’t be long.<\/a>Further on down the rue des Juifs there was something else exciting going on.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>There was some movement in the port today too.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>This evening I went out for a walk.<\/p>\n
\n“Red sky at night means Portsmouth is on fire”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>Yesterday I mentioned that the moon would probably be really nice in the next few days.<\/p>\n
