And I was awoken once more in the middle of the night by the rattling of the compressor.<\/p>\n<p>But I did manage to go back to sleep and was awoken by the alarm, which is always nice.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d been on my travels too &#8211; something I&#8217;ve not really done for a while. I was taxiing again &#8211; this time in the white Volkswagen Passat estate that I own. And the wife of one of the people for whom I drove back in the early 80s put in an appearance too. <\/p>\n<p>And that reminds me &#8211; I need to rescue the Passat and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.erichall.eu\/minerva.html\" target=\"_blank\">the Minerva<\/a> next time I go back to the Auvergne and put them on the hardstanding. After all, that&#8217;s why I had it made.<\/p>\n<p>I had a quiet leisurely morning. I&#8217;m not up to doing too much these days. What with chatting to Liz and so on, I was late for going to buy my <em>baguette<\/em> and ended up at the <em>boulangerie<\/em> across the road. I had a walk down to Caliburn too, to make sure that he&#8217;s okay and to pick up a few things that I need.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1704\/1704004.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1704\/1704004.jpg\" alt=\"casino granville manche normandy france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>At lunch I went for a walk down on the promenade at the back of the Casino over there to sit in the sun and eat my butties. And sit in the sun I did too &#8211; for about an hour. <\/p>\n<p>But the wind was rather wicked and despite the sunshine, it was really cold and there was nowhere to shelter. In the end, I decided that the only protection was &#8220;flight&#8221; and came back home.<\/p>\n<p>Back here I carried out some more research about places to stay and made a few phone calls but no-one called me back. But then I&#8217;m not surprised. No-one seems to want to earn any money these days. They just want to sit at home and moan about how cruel the world is.<\/p>\n<p>Tea was the rest of the potatoes, and I made a thing out of a tin of lentils, a tin of veg and a bottle of tomato sauce. It wasn&#8217;t too bad after. It was all washed down with some fruit salad and soya dessert which was nice.<\/p>\n<p>So now let&#8217;s see what kind of night we have tonight. I managed to avoid crashing out so I should be ready for a good sleep. Watch someone come along and spoil it for me. <\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-7759 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='7759' data-nonce='34c485fa21' 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-7759 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-7759 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='7759' data-nonce='34c485fa21' 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-7759 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-7759 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took ages to go off to sleep again last night with the fridge whining away in the background.
