Still no bed!!

Unfortunately the pump for the air bed we borrowed was broken so we weren't able to use it! We only realised when we got in from shopping at 10pm as we'd wanted to let it charge as long as possible. That meant we had to sleep on the couch last night. Thankfully it's a huge corner sofa so we had a long section each :) So we still have the challenge of finding a bed quick. The maid downstairs was gifted a double mattress so we're trying to get hold of her to see if she'll sell it. She doesn't use it so here's hoping.

Aside from that we walked along to the marina last night which was lovely. There are restaurants and coffee shops all around it and there are fountains and water falls. The water features are all lit up and there lots of nice yachts. Apparently there's a music and light show with the fountains so we'll have to catch that sometime!

We also found a fantastic supermarket. It seems to be the equivalent to Waitrose as they sell some of their brands but we were so glad to see some familiar brands too. It's funny the things that appeal when you've not been in the UK for a while. If its familiar then you want it, even if you'd never buy it at home :-D

One of the many familiar brands - phew


My dinner - chilli beef and noodles. Very nice but a bit too hot for me!

    Pregnant ladies should not be sleeping on couches! ;)
