… about 10 minutes of film-watching last night in bed and that was my lot. Out like a light.<\/p>\n

I vaguely remember going to the bathroom some time during the night but the next thing that I remembered was waking up at about 07:30. If I’d been somewhere on my travels during the night, I remember nothing whatever about it.<\/p>\n

The shower room was free when I came back from breakfast so I grabbed my stuff and gave myself a really good going-over. I need to make myself look pretty and smell nice as I was having company later. Alison came round and brought with her my 20 tins of baked beans and a bottle of malt vinegar from the UK. Now I’m all set up for a real and proper tea one night a week while I’m here.<\/p>\n

After running the stuff up to Caliburn we went for a walk around the Botanical Gardens here (which really are beautiful) and then went for a coffee and a really good chat. On our way back, we stumbled across a rommelmarkt<\/em> and you all know how fond I am of a good rummage around in other people’s rubbish. But the only thing that caught my mind was an old Vespa scooter which, unfortunately, wasn’t for sale. It was the stall holder’s personal transport. But it did plant another idea in my mind.<\/p>\n

With being out and about with Alison this morning, I had a rather late lunch and then a nice relaxing afternoon making the most of the free time that I have at the moment. <\/p>\n

Now, I can’t remember whether I mentioned the Indian takeaway. <\/p>\n

When I was out and about on my travels the other day I came across an Indian takeaway, and with Saturday usually being curry night when I’m back home, I decided to treat myself at the takeaway. I had a vegetarian biryani and garlic naam bread and it was delicious. The biryani was hot and spicy, not at all like a mainland-European meal at all, and the naam was delicious even though it was a little disappointing in size. Still, you can’t have everything.<\/p>\n

Sunday is a day of rest and so I’ve not set the alarm. And with having a bit of a late night tonight (it’s already 23:00) I’m hoping that I can have a really good sleep tonight and only wake up when I’m good and ready.<\/p>\n

That means of course that I’ll be in and out of the bathroom all night, and someone will be shouting up and down the corridor at about 06:00. That’s what usually happens, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
