So I intend to make the most of it by doing nothing at all. Actually, there isn&#8217;t much to do anything about, as you well know.<\/p>\n<p>But while I was out buying my <em>baguette<\/em> at lunchtime (I just went to the <em>boulangerie<\/em> down the road rather than spending reckless money in the Delhaize) I went to check on my new place. It&#8217;s still there and not burnt down, and I was able to pick up all of the details about it. <\/p>\n<p>During my stay (of 77 days, I have to say) I will have to change rooms twice, so I&#8217;m not complaining too much about that. I just hope that it will be more comfortable than here, and that the facilities are better. From what I saw of a room when I went to visit, it looks okay. I hope that it lives up to first impressions.<\/p>\n<p>Last night&#8217;s sleep was much more reasonable. Although I was up and about a couple of times, it was 07:25 when I awoke definitively and I was downstairs eating my breakfast when my alarm went off.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to have a shower today but we seem to be back on the cold water again so I&#8217;ll have to wait. See what it&#8217;s like tomorrow or else christen my new place accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Tea was vegetables for couscous with a handful of chick peas, some mushrooms, some boulghour and rice, followed by sliced spicy cake and soya yoghurt. Delicious it was too.<\/p>\n<p>It was rather slow progress on the blog updating today, and I&#8217;ve reached as far as 11th September 2010. The reason for this slow progress is that half a dozen pages, just written quickly late at night at the appropriate moment, merited an enormous amount of research and subsequent expansion as well as the addition of piles of photos to improve the illustration. All of this has taken a considerable amount of time but it&#8217;s well-worth it.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, we&#8217;ve had the rain today, haven&#8217;t we?<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ll be off to bed in a few moments to make the most of the last night on the floor on this very tired and sad mattress. See if I can have a good sleep.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;ll tell you one thing &#8211; and that is that I won&#8217;t be sorry to be somewhere else. I don&#8217;t regret coming here because it served its purpose when I was practically homeless, and it was only \u20ac11 or so per night. but it has really tried my patience and I can&#8217;t wait to get into a real bed.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that it lives up to it<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-6588 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='6588' data-nonce='a26fd5a277' 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-6588 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-6588 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='6588' data-nonce='a26fd5a277' 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-6588 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-6588 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; here in my little garret under the eaves.
