Ohhh… I write this blog with a heavy heart. It’s my final day! We agreed with a sleep in today, especially after the tiredness that we both felt yesterday! It’s bloody typical, I was awake at 7:30!! So annoying! I persisted, I laid in bed, watched a couple of Chateau renovation videos, then snoozed a bit more. I finally got out of bed at about 9:15. Bernard doesn’t work on a Friday, so he was doing a bit of sorting out in the living room. He’s been sleeping on an inflatable bed, and sharing Gavins bathroom for the last two weeks, as he gave up his bedroom, and en-suite for me. Bless him, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of it. I stripped the bed, he hoovered the lounge. Bernard was sorting out the washing, whilst I ... read more

Day 50 - Contemporary Art Museum, Banksy Exhibition and a night out The starts to the day are getting slower, I can’t believe it Day 50! I did hear Bernard Making his smoothie this morning, but only put ecause ut ecause I was already awake. I was watching my iPad, as I knew it was far too early for me! I popped my earphones in, and lair browsing. I’m comfy and warm, chances are that I will nod back over to sleep! Well, that worked, I woke up again at about 8:45. I am purposely having a later start, as I’m meeting Bernard and Kevin at 5:30 in Town Hall. My plan is that if I set off later, I can fill my day, constructively, without having to return to the apartment, or have to hang ... read more

It’s a relaxed start today, which I’m ready for! Especially after the early morning yesterday! Then when we got home last night, Gavin informed us that the clocks had been put forward an hour. So we were up early…. An extra hour… and even worse… we didn’t even know!!!! I was actually awake quite early today, about 5:30. That was probably because I was in bed by nine, and probably asleep by ten past…. I couldn’t keep my eyes open last night! The beauty of today was that, even though I was awake early, I could snuggle down, get comfy, and catch up with the Chateau renovations that I follow on YouTube! I stayed there until about 8:30!!! Bernard is working from home this morning, as he has an appointment this afternoon. So, I caught up ... read more

Today was another lazy start, which was good for me! I had a really easy night, followed by an easy morning. I've had a message from Bernard, he is on his way home. I'm pleased that he went all out, on his night out. I don't want him to miss out of his own life, just to sit at home with me! A job that I need to sort out, whilst I have the time, is my SIM card. I have had an email to inform me that I have only 3 days left. It’s so important when you are travelling to always have access to the Internet. I will only need 4 days short of data until I leave, but I still need it for those 4 days. I managed to access the app, and ... read more

I did set the alarm for 9am this morning, but actually woke up naturally at 8:40. I was so ready for my bed last night! I was the apprehensive all day about the cycle class. As it turned out, for no reason, but hindsight is a wonderful thing. Don’t get me wrong, it was hard work, but I actually enjoyed it. So today is a new day! I thought I might ache, but I think that all the walking, and knowing how to pace myself, allowed me to participate at my level, and enjoy it! So no aches today. I’m going to keep the walking going today. Bernard is at work, so I’m out exploring on my own. As always the first job for me is to have breakfast. I decided to get the train into ... read more
