And had I been bothered to leave my stinking pit, I could have been up a good hour before it too.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d been on my travels too, not sure where, but I ended up dating one of the nurses (I wish that I could remember which one) who had treated me while I had been in hospital. She was considerably younger than me (well, let&#8217;s face it &#8211; almost everyone in the world is these days!) and this excited a great deal of comment from all sorts of people.<\/p>\n<p>Which of course just goes to show &#8211; I can still chase after the women, even if I can&#8217;t remember why.<\/p>\n<p>We had the usual trip for the baguette and the lunchtime sitting-on-the-wall-overlooking-the-harbour too. The weather wasn&#8217;t quite as warm as it has been, but still too hot to be out there for long. And the tide is now almost fully-out which means that we aren&#8217;t going to be having any ships passing by for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Even the <em>Marit\u00e9<\/em> is conspicuous by her absence. She seems to have departed into the ether &#8211; Ships That Pass In The Night and all of that.<\/p>\n<p>Tea was another attack on the European Tinned Food Mountain and with the addition of a few herbs and spices it was quite tasty. Just goes to show the difference that a few simple things can make.<\/p>\n<p>So what have I been doing today then?<\/p>\n<p>Some tidying up. Not much, but if I do a little every day (or nearly every day) it will slowly all go together nicely. And some cleaning too. I need to make an effort.<\/p>\n<p>I had a phone call too from the maintenance people about the fridge. So I told them that it was now back working again so they hung up. And now it&#8217;s stopped again, hasn&#8217;t it? <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also had a very unwelcome letter from the Treasury of that hospital in Verdun. It seems that once again my insurers are dragging their heels about paying (which they usually do) and I&#8217;ve been lumbered yet again. I&#8217;ll need to sort them out properly in early course.<\/p>\n<p>Ingrid was on the phone too and we had a lengthy chat. Her health issues are finally moving, although in which direction it&#8217;s hard to tell. She&#8217;ll know more in early course. But it&#8217;s a good job that she rang, because I was &#8230; errr &#8230; resting at the time.<\/p>\n<p>But most of the day has been organising the blog. I&#8217;ve finished November, done a few of December, skipped the rest because there&#8217;s a lot in there that needs editing, and now I&#8217;m well into January 2012. Only 289 entries to go before this cycle of amendments is completed. And then I&#8217;ll need to go back over it again to bring the earlier entries up to the current standard as well as tackling some of the more complicated entries.<\/p>\n<p>In that vein, we are going pretty well too. I&#8217;ve done some more ad-hoc editing, removing unwanted tags, editing a couple of others, merging one or two as well and it&#8217;s not been taking me as long as I thought, especially as I&#8217;ve found a quick way of doing it.<\/p>\n<p>So now I&#8217;m having a relax before bed-time. And I reckon that I deserve it too. It&#8217;s hard work, this sitting around doing not very much.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-8239 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='8239' data-nonce='3edaae1d90' 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-8239 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-8239 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='8239' data-nonce='3edaae1d90' 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-8239 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-8239 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; a good 10 minutes before the alarm this morning.
