… for my exciting weekend today, as you might expect. Struggled to finish my lunch before I crashed out, and then was gone until about 16:30. Completely too, and it was a struggle to come round again.<\/p>\n
Last night didn’t help much though. I struggled to go to sleep – it took ages to drop off but at least I had a deep undisturbed sleep – until 06:30 when my Eastern European housemates awoke. They are reasonably quiet in their behaviour so I can’t complain too much, but 06:30 is rather early to start running around and showering and all of that.<\/p>\n
They remembered to bring breakfast around so at least we had fresh bread today. But they had forgotten to empty the waste bin for a couple of days running now so that’s overflowing now.<\/p>\n
After breakfast, I had a slow steady morning and then went for a walk. I need some shopping so I decided to walk right down to the Carrefour by the football ground. And I’m glad that I did too because they were selling 1-litre tubs of vegan citron sorbet for just \u20ac2:00, as well as large tins of pineapple slices for \u20ac0:59. That means that my puddings for the next few days will be extremely interesting.<\/p>\n
Of course, this afternoon passed by without much of a whimper and I was talking to my little-niece Hannah on the internet. She’s come to Madrid for 6 months under a University exchange scheme and that will do her good. I’m all in favour of young people broadening their horizons as much as they possibly can.<\/p>\n
Tonight I had my pizza and garlic bread for tea, and now I’m having an early night for I’m having visitors tomorrow.<\/p>\n
I’ve had more visits here than I ever had living back in the Auvergne haven’t I? At least there’s some benefit to living here, isn’t there?<\/p>\n
