Big Five Oh Trip

Arrived Nice exhausted and had some slightly complicated process to follow to get the keys (not that bad - just at a post office round the corner and with a code) and I'd been getting a cold all day, so I mostly just wanted to find where I was going and relax.

I have got an AirBnB here and extended to 3 days the planned 2 days. I needed a washing machine and preferred to have one inside a home-like space, than sitting in a launderette for a couple of hours. I have a small amount of work to do so a home-like space is preferable to a hotel room. I wanted to cook for myself. I have had some lovely food and some just OK food and also a lot of cheese and crisps and even a couple of McDonald's (which I really can't stand!). And I wanted to go buy some veg and make a reasonably health meal. And I also wanted a couple of days of downtime. Where I might wander a little, but where I mostly just sit and read and eat food I have made and do some work (which after two weeks of not doing any - oh actually I did spend one evening on an illustration commission, but mostly no work - feels like something that will be enjoyable).

It's just a little studio and am a little annoyed that I missed that the bed is the sofa (i.e. have to get the sofabed out each night), but only a bit. It's a decent price and it allows me to cook and wash and feel momentarily settled, if that makes any sense.

So expect less photos over the next couple of days. (And sorry these weren't uploaded yesterday, but my SD card pretended to be broken, which as you can imagine, really freaked me out - though almost everything is uploaded to the cloud, so wouldn't have been as disastrous as it sounds. Thankfully, I found a lack of needles in this studio and was able to take it out and swap it into the laptop and then it worked fine when it went back in.)Read more
