But even if it&#8217;s only for two or three weeks, I&#8217;m leaving for home anyway as soon as I an discharged from the hospital. I have stuff that I need to do back there and I can&#8217;t leave it any longer. And now that I&#8217;ve had Caliburn&#8217;s wheel bearing fixed, there&#8217;s no reason for me to stay.<\/p>\n<p>After last night&#8217;s perturbations it took me ages to go off to sleep. And I had to leave the bed twice for a trip down the corridor. Not only that, I&#8217;ve no idea if I went off on a ramble. I can&#8217;t recall a thing.<\/p>\n<p>It was a struggle to leave the bed, as you might expect. And after breakfast I had one of these eye-closing sessions. I wasn&#8217;t away with the fairies, but it was near enough.<\/p>\n<p>Once I&#8217;d had another coffee to wake me up, I started work on my website again. And now we have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.erichall.eu\/2016c260.html\" target=\"_blank\">this page<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.erichall.eu\/2016c250.html\" target=\"_blank\">this page<\/a> on line. And if I don&#8217;t fall asleep before bedtime, there might be another page on line before the end of the day today.<\/p>\n<p>I had a good chat on line with a couple of people while I was working, and I also crashed out for half an hour this afternoon. And that was really nice too. The sun is lower in the sky and now shines underneath the top of the window. It was gloriously sunny and warm, and the rays of sunshine were shining right on me. It was beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d had some good luck today when I was out buying my <em>baguette<\/em>. The supermarket had thrown a couple more plastic food-trays into the skip. I went out later in the evening after tea to have a look at them and apart from being rather dirty, they were in good condition &#8211; not damaged at all.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, they have now been added to the stock and I might even have enough for the little project that I have in mind that includes a visit to IKEA and the purchase of a pile of cardboard boxes.<\/p>\n<p>All of this depends upon what the hospital has to tell me tomorrow. If I&#8217;m still on two-weekly visits I&#8217;ll be well-and-truly sunk without a doubt. But I&#8217;m hoping that it&#8217;ll be much better news than this.<\/p>\n<p>And so i&#8217;m going to have an early night and see what tomorrow will bring me.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-7118 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='7118' data-nonce='33c4e809a2' 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-7118 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-7118 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='7118' data-nonce='33c4e809a2' 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-7118 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-7118 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; my last night in Leuven.
