I had another bad night &#8211; still being awake at 02:00 this morning, and then having to make a couple of trips down the corridor during the night.<\/p>\n<p>The alarm went off at 07:30, and it was something of an effort to crawl out of bed, but it had to be done. And then I staggered off upstairs for breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>We seem to have run out of muesli and no-one has replenished the container. So it was cornflakes for breakfast with my toast, coffee and orange juice and somehow it&#8217;s not the same. I hope that they will refill the container sometime soon although when I was up there making tea it was still empty.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I haven&#8217;t done too much at all, but at lunchtime I went for a walk. I checked on Caliburn in his new home and he seems to be fine. And then I went off to spy out the ALDI down the road from there. They don&#8217;t sell <em>baguettes<\/em> unfortunately but they so have some cheap stuff including the soya desserts and soya milk, as well as having a small range of vegan food like burgers and falafel. I&#8217;ll check this out when I find a proper place to stay. But it just goes to show you how far France is behind the times when it comes to this.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon, I crashed out for an hour or so &#8211; and quite right too for I was feeling pretty miserable what with having a bad night. But I wasn&#8217;t as miserable as the weather, which had rained when I was out and about on my travels at lunchtime although it did clear up later.<\/p>\n<p>For tea, I cooked some of the vegan pastries that Alison had bought me, together with potatoes and mixed vegetables cooked in butter and with garlic. That was a very good tea, and there&#8217;s enough left over for tomorrow. The little oven here isn&#8217;t very powerful but it managed to do the job, and I need to look out for a small, cheap baking tray. Looks like a trip to IKEA is on the cards, especially as now I can access Caliburn without any effort. Renting this parking place looks as if it&#8217;s a good move.<\/p>\n<p>So now, I&#8217;m going to try again to have an early night. And quite right too because my appointment at the hospital is for 09:10 tomorrow so I have to be early. I&#8217;ll pack some stuff in case I have to stay the night but if I don&#8217;t, I&#8217;ll be on the phone afterwards trying to sort out some accommodation. I have a few ideas, and a few phone numbers, up my sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>But all of this assumes that they can tell me how long I have to stay here. I need to have some kind of idea so that I can make further plans. <\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-6862 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='6862' data-nonce='c005477cad' 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-6862 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-6862 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='6862' data-nonce='c005477cad' 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-6862 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-6862 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And that&#8217;s no surprise either.
