… going out for an evening walk tonight, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n

Not only do we have a howling gale, we have a lashing rainstorm too. And it’s pretty black over Bill’s mother’s too.<\/p>\n

I had another bad night last night, that’s for sure. Only 5 hours and something-worth of sleep, with ony four hours of that in a deep and restful sleep. Yes, I’ve charged up the Fitbit and uploaded the data to the laptop. <\/p>\n

I was busy working on another mega-blog page<\/a> after my walk and somehow ended up being carried away. 01:45 when I went to bed. No wonder that I was tired when the alarm went off, and that I crashed out for a couple of hours this afternoon. <\/p>\n

But a shower brought me round somewhet after breakfast and having dealt with “a computer issue”, i went shopping.<\/p>\n

And I’ve been spending my money too, yet again. Although nowhere near as bad as last week.<\/p>\n

The Centrakor was the beneficiary of my largesse today. They had some multi-USB hubs on sale at \u20ac3:99 and I need one of those, seeing as how Brain of Britain has somehow contrived to leave all three of his back in Virlet.<\/p>\n

But of course one thing leads to another, and once you make a start you’ll be surprised just how many other things there are. <\/p>\n

The Bluetooth oyster that I had as a hands-free device before the bluetooth radio – I took that to Canada for use in Strider, but it’s a different kind of lead than a standard USB lead, and I’ve … errr … misplaced that.<\/p>\n

And so I’ve been havong a good look around for another one. And they had one in Centrakor – with a Bluetooth oyster device included. All for \u20ac7:99, which is the same price as I have been quoted for a cable. Do bears have picnics in the woods?<\/p>\n

Not only that, they were having a sale of silicon pie dishes and the like for just \u20ac3:99 which is cheap at anybody’s price. And now I have a proper round pie dish, a bread\/cake mould and a mould for making six tarts. I’ll be having a go at making mince pies in the winter. <\/p>\n

Note to self – ask someone to bring me a couple of jars of mincemeat from the UK<\/em>. <\/p>\n

I stayed in at lunchtime too – the winds were wicked out there and I wouldn’t have enjoyed sitting on my wall at all. And I rather lost direction this afternoon with the fatigue. So it’s not been a very good day.<\/p>\n

But I did finish the blog entries about the trip to the UK in June 2011. Now to see what else I’ve missed before I start on the Canada 2011 pages.<\/p>\n

And I did have a visitor at lunchtime – and I’ll tell you all about that tomorrow. I’m too tired to go into details tonight. <\/p>\n

Footnote
\nI did go out – just for a quick lap around the block. And in the 5 minutes that I was out, I was soaked to the skin. Except where I had my new McKinley raincoat. That did exactly the job that it was supposed to do – and I wish that I had bought it in a bigger size now.<\/em><\/p>\n
