June and her husband were travelling back to Germany today and as we know, the motorway passes just a couple of miles from here. In fact, I&#8217;ve had more visitors here than I&#8217;ve ever had when I&#8217;ve been living in France, haven&#8217;t i?<\/p>\n<p>But we started off as we meant to go on this morning. I was awake by 05:45, downstairs breakfasting by 07:15 and working on the laptop updating the blog by 08:30. That kept me out of mischief for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n<p>I had a shower, a shave and a change of clothes (such are the highlights of my life these days that I record rubbish like this) so that I could look pretty, and then I hit the streets.<\/p>\n<p>June and her husband appeared bang on time and we wandered off to the <em>fritkot<\/em> in the centre of town for lunch. The food was, as you might expect, very good there and there were no complaints from anyone, not that there ought to have been. And then we moved down into the main square for coffee and a really good chat. It was a beautiful morning for once, but soon clouded over as the afternoon wore on.<\/p>\n<p>They left the town at about 14:30 and I wandered back to my little room, where a strange thing happened. Yes &#8211; I crashed out completely and not just for ten minutes or half an hour but for over 3 hours, which is quite astonishing. I was well-gone.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s been something of an upheaval here too. We had two people who left at the weekend, as you know, but someone who had been away came back this afternoon. There had been some confusion in the fridge when I arrived and when I went down to make my evening meal everything in there had been turned around. But now it&#8217;s all properly organised and as it should be, which makes a nice change.<\/p>\n<p>For tea, I had boulghour, kidney beans and vegetables with rice and tomato sauce and very nice it was too. Loads of protein in all of that and as you know, I need to be on a high protein diet these days. I followed up with more of the spicy cake and soya custard substitute.<\/p>\n<p>Liz was on the internet tonight so we had a long chat, and now I&#8217;m off for an early night. Despite the three hours or so of crashing out, I&#8217;m still exhausted and a good sleep will do me good. <\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-6315 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='6315' 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-6315 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-6315 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='6315' 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-6315 unlc'>-1<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-6315 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; at lunchtime.
