Update: I suddenly remembered Erik’s kind offer so I phoned him. He answered, but he’s in Stockholm for Christmas. Damn! He said to ask Madame Blanchard for help, so I’ve sent her a message but for once she’s not answering. Perhaps her internet is down. Hell, I tell you, is right here, right now.

I made it halfway to the bakery but it was so slippery, and I was so wobbly on my feet, that I was about to give up and come home when Manon pulled up in her yellow post van. She told me that the bakery isn’t opening until tomorrow and then drove me back home. She didn’t mention our previous discussion, and I was feeling so rough I didn’t broach the subject either. She kindly offered to get me some shopping if I need it but I can manage fine until tomorrow. I’ve lost my appetite anyway. The only exception is that I would really, really like a bottle of something, but of course that’s the one thing I can’t ask her to bring.

I’ve been thinking about the drink thing, and I suppose the truth of the matter is that I don’t only want a drink because I’m bored. It goes deeper than that. There’s some surgical alcohol in the bathroom cabinet and I even found myself considering that.

OK, look, cards on the table time. I didn’t just consider it, I actually tasted it. I thought it might taste like vodka, but it was disgusting – even with tonic. But that can’t be normal, can it? Tasting random bathroom products in the hope they taste like vodka?

On the good news side of things, the electricity has returned and Mittens has been back five times today. Five times! On his last visit I managed to get him to eat indoors on the doormat. His fur is all matted and dirty and I’m gagging to get a brush to him. It’s probably a bit pathetic, but when he’s here I don’t feel quite so alone.
