I had a really good sleep and knew nothing whatever about anything at all.<\/p>\n<p>I was up and about before the second alarm went off, and after a shower and a shave I was down at breakfast even before opening time. A few minutes later I was joined by a crew of workers who seem to be staying here. It disturbed my solitude considerably.<\/p>\n<p>I was back up here soon enough and then I started to have a little crisis. Nothing serious, but I couldn&#8217;t concentrate and I couldn&#8217;t focus on what I wanted to do. This might not seem significant, especially if I were to say that it&#8217;s rather like I&#8217;ve been for the last year or so, but it&#8217;s a considerable step back from the more dynamic me that has resurfaced over the past week or so. <\/p>\n<p>I had a phone call too. They want to change my medication so we can do that tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>At 10:30, I struggled out of my room and went right across time to the Delhaize for my baguette and some grapes, and then a walk back along the promenade. I was tempted to go into one of these holiday letting agencies to see if they had any studios to let at a decent price. But I ruled that out when I saw the prices. Even off-season in the middle of winter it&#8217;s cheaper to stay in this hotel, and staying at that hostel in Leuven is a bargain. It looks as if I might be stuck there for the foreseeable future if I have to stay in Leuven.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch, I crashed out for a good hour or so &#8211; really out of it too &#8211; and in the middle of a conversation with a friend too. and it was a struggle to bring myself round. And I certainly didn&#8217;t feel like going out for my afternoon coffee. And that&#8217;s how it&#8217;s been all day.<\/p>\n<p>This evening, I had a major disappointment. That pizza place I visited on Sunday was advertising pasta dishes and they looked absolutely wonderful. I&#8217;d set my heart on one of them and I&#8217;d saved it for tonight as a farewell to Oostende. How I was looking forward it too and so I went round there tonight for my pasta &#8230; and it was closed. <\/p>\n<p>Drat and double-drat!<\/p>\n<p>I ended up with a salad bap and a bag of chips instead and it&#8217;s nothing like the same.  <\/p>\n<p>So now, being fed up and disappointed and not too well, I&#8217;m off to bed. I hope that I feel better tomorrow for I&#8217;m hitting the road for Leuven tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder what will happen at the hospital?<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-7182 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='7182' data-nonce='735c0713c9' 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-7182 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-7182 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='7182' data-nonce='735c0713c9' 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-7182 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-7182 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; of a bad day today.
