And so when the alarm went off at 08:30 I was already alive and kicking. <\/p>\n<p>Having fallen off the end of the bed three times during the night doesn&#8217;t help much either and so I turned the bed round in the middle of the night. And so tonight it will be my feet that will fall out.<\/p>\n<p>This morning we went shopping at the Shanti &#8211; the health food supermarket over the road in the Avenue Adolphe Buyl. Start as we mean to go on, I suppose. <\/p>\n<p>After that I made a start on the work that we had to do. I&#8217;m not here merely to pass the time of day or to sit and put my feet up &#8211; I have plenty of work to do. <\/p>\n<p>Another shopping trip, this time to the Carrefour at Waterloo (or, rather, Mont St Jean) for the stuff we couldn&#8217;t find at the health food shop was on the cards for later and after a coffee, we went to Chi Chi&#8217;s, the Tex-Mex restaurant down the road from there, for a Christmas Eve meal. <\/p>\n<p>We arrived much earlier than anticipated for our booking, but there was a table free and so we didn&#8217;t have to wait around.<\/p>\n<p>Back here later, we watched the <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2v7bbz3\" target=\"_blank\">Chronicles of Narnia II &#8211; Prince Caspian<\/a>, which isn&#8217;t a patch on the first one unfortunately, and that was Christmas Eve. <\/p>\n<p>And now I&#8217;m off to bed. I have to wait until tomorrow to find out what Santa has bought me.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-343 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='343' data-nonce='c08db6eab0' 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-343 lc'>+2<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-343 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='343' data-nonce='c08db6eab0' 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-343 unlc'>-2<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-343 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; much like getting up this morning.
