We all went up to the kitchen and while she had her breakfast, I had a coffee and we all had a good chat &#8211; making a provisional arrangement to meet up some time in Brussels before she flies back to Canada<br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\"><\/p>\n<p>The reason why I didn&#8217;t have breakfast then was because I&#8217;d already been upstairs for breakfast. At 07:00 as it happens because I&#8217;d had a very early start.<\/p>\n<p>I was asleep quite early and although I had to leave the comfort and safety of my stinking pit once or twice, I was deeply in the arms of Morpheus until 06:00. And then I was wide awake, and awake to such an extent that I was working away on the laptop when the alarm went off.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;d been on my travels too. Working for the EU in Brussels in fact. And I had my own personal staff too &#8211; a girl of about 14, Polish with long blond hair down to her waist who was my housekeeper (and who reminded me very much of a girl with whom I was at school) and another guy who was my driver\/handyman etc. And it was long after 09:00 and I was really late for work, and the boss wanted to speak to me (which summed up something that really did happen on one occasion).<\/p>\n<p>After breakfast I spent about an hour trying to find some documents that weren&#8217;t where I expected them to be. And in the end, after much binding in the marsh I discovered them. So now, that&#8217;s everything that I think needs to be transferred over. Now I can start to file away all of the stuff that I no longer need.     <\/p>\n<p>Before lunch I went into town to do the shopping at Delhaize, and forgot the carrots that I wanted to buy. And so for tea (because one of the portions of curry was rather light) I made some garlic bread with the left-over half-baguette from last weekend. <\/p>\n<p>This afternoon, I crashed out again for a good hour and was well away with the fairies. actually, it&#8217;s rather worrying that I can&#8217;t keep on going and that I&#8217;m feeling like this. This idea that&#8217;s going through the back of my mind about finding another place to live is not going to happen too soon.<\/p>\n<p>So having had tea and done the washing up, I&#8217;m going for an early night. I need it, I reckon.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-7369 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='7369' data-nonce='6c388be4b6' 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-7369 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-7369 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='7369' data-nonce='6c388be4b6' 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-7369 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-7369 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; made a new acquaintance today.
