… sleep was something of a disaster, if you remember correctly.<\/p>\n

Not so last night’s.<\/p>\n

In bed at a reasonably early hour for these days (the days when I retired at 21:30 seem to be long-past, thank heavens) and I was out like a light until David Bowie awoke me.<\/p>\n

Mind you, for all the good it might have done, I may as well have stayed in bed because it was miserable outside, with a storm-force wind, to such a degree that I was planning on cancelling my Thursday walk into town.<\/p>\n

But it brightened up (just a little) and the wind dropped (just a little) by 09:30 so even though I hadn’t showered or shaved, I wandered off into town all the same.<\/p>\n

Nothing doing at the docks – “no shipwrecks and nobody drownding, in fact nothing to laugh at at all” as the old song goes. So I wandered off to the bank to check the accounts and sure enough – the money STILL hasn’t come in. I’ll need to see to that.<\/p>\n

Having picked up a baguette<\/em> – one of the nice ones that I like from down town, I wandered back up here.<\/p>\n

Lunchtime was as usual on the wall, but I didn’t stay long. I don’t mind overcast weather and I don’t mind winds, but when you have both together it’s a bit depressing and miserable. <\/p>\n

But I have made a decision – and that is that I’m going to change my routine slightly. <\/p>\n

I had to throw away a melon today and also a couple of nectarines. They aren’t lasting for a whole week in this weather. <\/p>\n

What I shall be doing is on my Friday shopping trips, buying just enough for four or five days and having my walk into town on Tuesdays when I can pick up fruit for the rest of the week from down there. <\/p>\n

Tea was the last of the lentil and mushroom curry – and nice it was too. I’ll have to invent something for the next couple of days. I’m sure that I can manage.<\/p>\n

So apart from craching out for half an hour this afternoon, I’ve been on the blog again. Here’s a page<\/a> that I half-started last night after I returned from my walk, but fell asleep with it only half-completed. <\/p>\n

I can’t believe that I only gave this page a 100-word place holder back then. It concerns two subjects upon which I was working at the time and I remember thinking that I’ll go back and rewrite the page when I had a moment.<\/p>\n

And then I must have forgotten.<\/p>\n

But I didn’t accomplish too much today, what with my walk, my long chat with Terry on the telephone (a present has arrived for me today, thank heavens – many thanks, Terry), having a rest and that sort of thing. <\/p>\n

But in an idle 10 minutes when I was stretching my legs, I brought out the sheep shearer and razed my head. It’ll do now for a bit, although I’ll give it the quick once-over before I go to Canada.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow will be the same too with a shopping trip, so I shall have to push along much more rapidly when I can.<\/p>\n
