Because of the work I’m doing on my bedroom windows, both rooms are out of action with the beds leaning against the walls on their sides to give me space to work. So two nights ago I put up a camp bed and slept in my living room, and not too badly I might add, especially compared to the night before when I only got about 5 or 6 hours of sleep.<\/p>\n

Yesterday morning I had a very successful meeting in P\u00e9rigueux with a potential builder of my new house and fully intended to finish off the work on the windows in the afternoon, but quite honestly, I was so tired when it came time to start after lunch that I napped soundly for so long in order to catch up on the sleep that I’d lost the night before that it wasn’t worth starting.<\/p>\n

But anyway, yesterday evening I was getting ready to put my camp bed up for a second time when I thought to myself, hey, what am I doing? I have a caravan standing outside on my lawn and although it’s not in a fit state to live in right now as I’m in the middle of several jobs, at least it has a bed! So I spent a few minutes giving the interior a good spray with ‘anti-volants’ to clear any possible mosquitoes or other ‘baddies’ that might have been lurking and transferred my bedding over from my living room.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of shots that I took this morning. You can see what I mean with the interior being somewhat in disarray with the old fridge having been pulled out and the new one waiting to be installed.<\/p>\n

And I have to say that I slept pretty well. The bed in there is clean, probably no worse than the ones that I’ve slept in in the French Premi\u00e8re Classe and F1 hotels that I’ve stayed in, and was at least as comfortable as my proper bed, if not more so. I was dozing after waking up when my neighbour, Chantal’s, little dog brought me to full consciousness by barking outside the door. She always comes to see me as soon as she’s let out in the morning (the little dog, not Chantal…) and she obviously knew that I was inside the caravan. <\/p>\n

So that was a good time to get up and face the day – and a little dog that was soaking wet from the dew on the long grass and wanted nothing more than to jump up and lick my face. What more can one want from this life of ours?<\/p>\n
