\n How much sleep would I have?<\/li>\n
We shan’t mention the dreadful tiling (or lack thereof), the abysmal plumbing, the damp stains underneath the windows – all of that. <\/p>\n
It was a disgrace.<\/p>\n
As for the one out in the sticks, that really was out in the sticks. and the yappy dog barking in the garden underneath told me straight away that this was a waste of time. The building was falling down too and there was no co-propri\u00e9t\u00e9<\/em> – repairs to the building would be “by negotiation” and we’ve heard all of this before.<\/p>\n The kitchen was nice in this place, but the finishing was appalling (open chipboard on the worktop by the sink) and the tiling was even worse than I can manage to do. <\/p>\n Strangely enough, leaving aside the question of the estate agent leaving me waiting for 15 minutes, I mentioned to him that I didn’t want to see any ruins, any falling-down buildings, any dirty apartments and any where the vendors couldn’t even be bothered to remove the furniture. And so I got the lot today. <\/p>\n Mind you, it wasn’t all doom and gloom. I had spoken about my plans to my landlady here, and see took me to Br\u00e9hal today. There’s a new development of apartments there and several are still empty, either for sale or to let. One of her friends is the President of the co-propri\u00e9t\u00e9 and she arranged to let me look round.<\/p>\n It’s not what I want and not where I want it to be, but it’s the best possibility yet, especially if I can make friends with the President. And so she arranged for the managing agents to contact me.<\/p>\n And as you might expect, I’m still waiting.<\/p>\n After my early night falling asleep during the film yet again, I was awake at 05:30 and had another early breakfast in the company of my landlady. a shower brought me back to my feet and then we went off to look at this place.<\/p>\n I’d forgotten my salad stuff and my knife and so on, so I ended up with a bag of crisps for lunch, sitting on the promenade at Jullouville (which I really do like). And then we had the estate agent.<\/p>\n I had to drop off some papers in Granville on my way back, and then came back here to sit in the sun and read a book for a while, with my mate sitting on my knee having a stroke.<\/p>\n Tea was more of what I had made yesterday, and now it’s an early night. I was too busy to crash out today, so I’ll sleep like a log tonight, I reckon.<\/p>\n
