I went into the Tourist Information Office for a brochure, found a list of holiday flats, and there was one just over the road. Free parking just a few hundred metres up the street and so here I am.<\/p>\n<p>Next task was to look for somewhere more permanent, so I went off hot-foot to a place that I had seen on the internet. Parking close by and a sea view.<\/p>\n<p>But what a disappointment that was! I could smell the damp as soon as I walked into the place. Not only that, the floor creaked dangerously and had some cheap lino thrown down over it. A glance out of the window showed that the garden hadn&#8217;t been weeded or the lawn mowed for about a year. And if the landlord can&#8217;t cope with simple jobs like that, what hope do you have of him coping with anything important? I walked away.<\/p>\n<p>Never mind though. There are plenty of estate agents in the town and I have already visited three or four. The remainder are for tomorrow I reckon and we&#8217;ll see what happens then.<\/p>\n<p>As for the town itself, it&#8217;s been 20-odd years since I&#8217;ve been here and I don&#8217;t remember anything at all about it. Either it&#8217;s changed dramatically or I have. I know that we stayed here a couple of times but I really don&#8217;t remember where. I don&#8217;t recognise a thing.<\/p>\n<p>But no matter. I cooked tea tonight in my little kitchen and shortly I&#8217;ll be going to sleep on my little bed-settee. I&#8217;ve had a hard day and I&#8217;ve already crashed out for half an hour or so this afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see what tomorrow brings me.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-7741 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='7741' 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-7741 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-7741 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='7741' 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-7741 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-7741 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; in a little studio apartment right in the centre of town here in Granville.
