20th October

It rained really heavily all last night and I’m right up in the eaves of the building so even deaf lugs me could hear it! However, the advantage of having «a bad ear » is that if I lay on my right side I can’t hear anything, which can be useful sometimes 🙂

It wasn’t worth venturing out today so I decided to stay put.

For some reason Strictly is no longer been put on YouTube as a complete show, so I just watched the dances and the scores. Some fab performances and amazing outfits as always.

Being a little sparse, and having no carpets or rugs, means that this accommodation offers up a rather good dance floor. I found a video on YouTube which taught the basic steps of Lindy Hop and did that for almost an hour! Hope I didn’t disturb the people in the flat below- me prancing about like a fairy elephant! I loved it and really need to find somewhere to dance. Particularly as the C25K has had to go on the backburner for now as I’m not sure where to run here and there’s no-one really to ask.

Then, I realised I could put it off no longer……..the bathroom. I scrubbed the washbasin and bath twice. They were so grubby. And the shower head- yuk! Lots more hairs found 😦 Then I still wasn’t happy so I filled them both right up to the top with hot water and bubble bath, let it stand and then drained it away. I then felt happy enough to have a bath- but I’d used all the hot water! Aaaagh!

I spent a few hours publishing lots more of my blog, ate and then it was time for bed. The weather is going to be nice tomorrow so I’m going to Blois. Can’t wait.

Bonne nuit 🙂
