2-4th July 2017- a few things on my mind

Well I seem to have received from the effects of the bread and must now add it to the list of foods which I cannot take for the moment. Unfortunately the list is building and includes fresh tomatoes, fatty cheese, apple skins and oranges are beginning to have an effect as well, but of course I have to avoid all the cabbage family plus garlic and most herbs for the moment. Although on the bright side I can eat most meats and fish and regular cooked potatoes and rice etc. but have not tried beer yet as they tell you to avoid gassy drinks.
We have also decided that Noel was very tired from four days in the car that a road trip to the Italian Lakes looks a bit doubtful at the moment for September as is the drive via Kiel in Germany up to Norway, so we may investigate a cruise through the Norwegian fjords when we get back to blighty for September. Let’s see what happens as cannot make any travel decisions until after next blood tests in late July.
The consultants did say it could take me up to a year to get back to full strength and I think they must be right based upon last week’s travel and a minimum of a year up to two years for the bowel to finally settle, a bit long but nothing I can do but be careful
Have felt very sorry for the victims of the London fire until I found out that many of them were ILLEGAL immigrants and should not have been in the building in the first place. And now they want to give them another year before they look at their status and so no doubt come the time one year later they will all have scarpered. One enterprising Vietnamese gentleman turned up at the Council offices and said that he had lost his wife and child and so could he have the settlement of £5K each please and they nearly paid until they found out he lives nowhere near the burnt out block of flats.

The site has been quite empty over the past week and no doubt the new owners are getting a little worried about their future investment and they sent one of the staff down to the competition site about five miles away to check them out and they were much busier but then also their prices are lower. Let’s see if they make any changes to the pricing. In the meantime due to their view of health and safety of the swimming pool they have put new signs up warning guests that the pool is not in the campsite territory and the risk lays with the owner. Our good friend Ingrid, and she is most upset by this. The Creperie is also not now in the land that Hutopia want but have suggested that locals should be allowed to use it, over my dead body says Ingrid. So all exciting stuff going on here in this peace full corner of Normandy
