The alarm went off as usual and I lay semi-somnolent in bed for a while waiting for the second call. And it became apparent that I wasn’t going to get a second call – when I looked at the clock closely it was 09:54. I must have slept through the first call and heard the second one.<\/p>\n

But that wasn’t the best of it. Something had clearly happened through the night such as the clock switching itself off and back on. And it’s a radio-controlled clock so it sets its own time but for some reason its time zone is set to GMT-2 so it was in actual fact 10:54.<\/p>\n

So I steam-cleaned part of the kitchen (and it needed it) and then went off to Commentry for shopping. There was absolutely nothing of interest although I did create some mild amusement in one of the shops. The cashier gave my \u20ac20 note a thorough inspection before accepting it, so I couldn’t resist the temptation.
“It is ok<\/span>?” I asked
“yes, it’s fine<\/span>” she replied.
“Good. I’ll make some more like that tonight<\/span>“.
But as Alfred Hitchcock once said to Kenneth Williams, “it’s a total waste of time telling jokes to foreigners<\/span>!”<\/p>\n

After that it was off to Neris and the swimming baths. And don’t know why I bothered. They’ve had a price increase and it’s now \u20ac3:00 to go in. Water at 30 degrees and the interior at 17 degrees. They should have specified that it was fahrenheit and not centigrade though – I froze in there.<\/p>\n

And now I’m clean I’ll change the bedding and my nightie tonight. Yes, I change my sheets and pillowcases once a year – whether they need it or not.<\/p>\n
