...more pasties

Today was my younger sisters first day of school and therefore we all were expected to wake up and some inhuman hour to see her the few doors up the road to school. This understandably didn't put me in the best mood for the rest of the day, luckily this was averted by me promptly falling back asleep the moment I got back in from taking her to school. I wouldn't call it lazy more a compulsion to spend as much as time as possible in bed!

I was rudely woken by the announcement that we were going to go to the local town (mini-town) Tintagel to purchase hair gel, my contribution, a shower curtain and a shower attachment it was a bathroom themed morning. By now it was around half ten so I grudgingly awoke and trudged around until learning a bath had been run for me, such a welcome aid, so I jumped in almost falling asleep again (this blog really does reveal my innermost secrets, sleeping in the bath, gosh!) After this bath sent from heaven above we made our way slowly and sleepily to Tintagel. Turned out the hardware shop where we were intending to purchase our shower based items was closed for an hour, presumably to eat lunch, the rudeness! So we made our way past all the tourist related shops, all ending with suitably interesting names such as 'Merlins candle and crystal shop' or 'Arthur's Emporium' until we chanced upon a shop selling pasties. Being new to the area and trying to fit in as much as possible, which to us seems to be eating as many pasties as possibly we bought three steak pasties and a vegetable pasties for the not unfair price of one pound eighty. These were consumed as quickly as possible as it was starting to rain and the wind had picked up, quite happily dragging us up and down the high street. The next item of interest was our local Londis where we procured the seemingly hard to come by hair gel, the selection here was amazing they had no less than three types of hair gel on offer, 'extra hold' seemed to be the most user friendly. The hardware shop much to our suprise was now open, a whole five minutes early, so with our shower objects purchased we made our way home, content with our lot in life, I just wish I spent more time in 'Arthur's Emporium' some of those toy swords were totally realistic!

being honest it seems like a country side. And You are lazy man - sleeping in the bath. I did it only once and I had a dream that I'm the only survivor of the ship sinking and I'm lying on the beach, water slowly climbing me, finally reaching my mouth - that was the moment I woke up :)
