So after we’d hoovered up the bread, cheese, crisps, etc. we came in (I made a hot drink because I am a Northerner so tea flows through my veins) & although it was only 8:30pm, we got into bed with the laptop…
Dave was exhausted and this kindly said “Put what you want on” and went to sleep 😴
I drank my drink & 2 choccy digestives then caved at 9:15pm (partly because the mobile WiFi was playing up & partly because I was also running on fumes 🥱)
And we both slept until gone 8am this morning 🌅 !!!
So we clearly needed it ✅
The weather wasn’t looking good so we bibbed off on the scooter (whilst it was still dry) for supplies…
And there’s always something with us…
After perusing the hypermarché & selecting various items that would fit in the top box & under the seat, we ended up at the self-service checkouts where I chose the “No Receipt” option but the machine still spat out a bit of paper so I moaned, “I just bleedin’ SAID no receipt – crap system” and Dave chucked it in the bottom of one of the bags…
THEN we tried to get out & there were 2 x Perspex gates blocking our exit.
I piped up, “Oh, THAT’S what that bit of paper was for !” but it took us (what seemed like) AGES to empty everything out & finally find the tiny bit of paper…
And you could see the locals thinking “Bleedin’ foreigners” and I just got the giggles 🤭 & found it all hilarious 😂
Anyway, we got out, got back, had a bit of something-to-eat then Dave did a bit of man-stuff and I settled down with a wine to catch up with The Blog…
I’m on my 3rd wine, Dave’s now having a nap 😴 and it’s FINALLY started raining (3:50pm)…
I’ve got the music and I’m fine 😊 (hic) – more later… 👋
