And I&#8217;ve no idea why because the bed is quite comfortable and I&#8217;m very warm in there &#8211; or else that&#8217;s it and I&#8217;m too warm, but that&#8217;s not very likely now.<\/p>\n<p>It was disturbed to such an extent that I was up and about by 06:30 and having breakfast when the alarm went off at 07:00. This is happening more and more often and it&#8217;s not like me at all in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from going down to the old town for my <em>baguette<\/em> (and coming back <em>via<\/em> the city walls) I&#8217;ve spent most of the day on the sofa. I can allow myself the odd day here and there to do this &#8211; after all, I am retired. <\/p>\n<p>Liz and I had a chat on the internet, and I made a phone call. And I also did some tidying up. But most of the day was spent checking over the contents of an old computer that I&#8217;ve managed to fire up. 12.3GB of duplicate files on there, so I&#8217;ve been weeding them out. And the program that I use, although noted for its efficacy, is not noted for its rapidity. It also has a tendency to eat up all of the processing capacity of the machine so it very slowly grinds to a halt. So you have to switch off and start again.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I had such an exciting, stressful, exhausting day that I crashed out for half an hour too. Just for a change.<\/p>\n<p>Not a day for going outside, because it started to pour down with rain this afternoon and it&#8217;s kept it up ever since. So it&#8217;s a good job that I had things indoors to amuse me.  There haven&#8217;t been too many wet days since I&#8217;ve been here, have there? <\/p>\n<p>Tea was more stuff out of the European Tinned Food Mountain. I&#8217;ve been slowly demolishing it for a couple of weeks and it doesn&#8217;t look any different. But one day it will all be gone &#8211; whenever that might be. If I had an oven, or some different pans that would work on the induction hob, I could perhaps be more adventurous. But that will come, one day or another.<\/p>\n<p>And so will tomorrow, because I&#8217;m done for today. If the weather is better I might even go for a walk, but I&#8217;m not holding my breath. <\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-7889 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='7889' data-nonce='f2107dae3b' 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-7889 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-7889 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='7889' data-nonce='f2107dae3b' 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-7889 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-7889 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; of those days where, rather like the mathematician named Hall, I accomplished three-fifths of five-eights of &#8230; errr &#8230; nothing.
