I could have stayed up longer too, but it was getting a little bit ridiculous to be up and about just for the sake of it, so I settled down in my bed and waited for sleep to come.<\/p>\n<p>And come it did too, sooner or later. And I remember absolutely nothing about the night. I didn&#8217;t even have to leave my bed. I slept right through until the alarm went off and how I wish that I could sleep like that every day.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d run out of fruit juice, so I remembered this morning, and so I had to make do without any for breakfast. And talking of breakfast, we were just three in the dining room this morning (although some new people have arrived today too). <\/p>\n<p>After breakfast, I had some bad news. A phone call in fact. &#8220;This is reception here. Just to remind you that your stay here ends on Monday morning. Thank you for being with us&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s bad news as I was banking on something rather more long-term than this as you know. Anyway, I&#8217;ve managed to negotiate a stay until I go into hospital and then I really shall be on my own when I come out. <\/p>\n<p>And my luck didn&#8217;t change much either when I was out. Just round the corner is an old building that looks as if it&#8217;s just been renovated. And there in the window was a sign &#8220;Rooms to let &#8211; \u20ac385 per month plus \u20ac65 charges&#8221;. That kind of place is well within my budget and so I made further enquiries and to my dismay, viewing is on 30th April &#8211; when I&#8217;m in hospital. That kind of place would have been ideal for me to stay.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned yesterday, I&#8217;ve had a quiet day today and not done much at all. But tonight I found a new eatery. I had a huge lump of bread filled with salad and falafel, together with a bag of chips and it all came to \u20ac7:50. There was enough there to keep me going for a week and it was delicious too. I&#8217;ve added it on to my list of places.<\/p>\n<p>And now I really am going to go to bed. I need a good sleep because I need to have a good clean-up tomorrow morning. Alison is coming shopping in the town and so we&#8217;ve arranged to meet up for a coffee. I need to look my best, if I can, as well as to be on my best behaviour if I&#8217;m being seen in the company of others.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-5580 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='5580' data-nonce='e4b5834b25' 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-5580 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-5580 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='5580' data-nonce='e4b5834b25' 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-5580 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-5580 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; that I said on Wednesday about late nights, it was 01:00 in the morning this morning and I was still up and about.
