Hence it was long after 02:30 when I dropped off to sleep and I awoke at about 04:00. Yes, a bad night indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Lying there listening to the rain didn&#8217;t improve my humour much either. A bad day was threatening.<\/p>\n<p>And a bad day it was too. 90 minutes to eat breakfast, 90 minuts to eat lunch and 90 minutes to eat my tea. I have been most uncomfortable today without a doubt and I wish that I were dead.<\/p>\n<p>However, look on the bright side, Eric. Every last piece of rubble and dust is not out of the downstairs room and I&#8217;ve filled two black bin bags full of yet more rubbish. Most of the product that I need to work on the place is now down there and I&#8217;m reorganising the room yet again, putting the table that I&#8217;ll be using as a workbench under the window where it will be light. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had another bit of good luck too.

They were superb, best that I&#8217;ve ever owned. So when I lost them in 2008 I was distraught. But here they are, sitting on an old newspaper that had slid into a box of rubble that I had brought down from my old apartment in Brussels.<\/p>\n<p>It just goes to show &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, tomorrow (if I don&#8217;t have any interruptions) downstairs will be finished and I will be able to move the workshop down and out of the bedroom to give me yet more space.   <\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s below freezing tonight outside &#8211; first time for weeks.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-2734 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='2734' data-nonce='2884014f30' 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-2734 lc'>+1<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-2734 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='2734' data-nonce='2884014f30' 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-2734 unlc'>-3<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-2734 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; than not being able to swallow, and that&#8217;s not being able to swallow when you have a streaming head-cold.
