Not a very exciting day

A slow start to the day as we start to think about our packing as we leave here on Sunday after a most enj0oable stay which we would like to return some time in the future. Clearly this place is a target for the Brits as a lot of English families have turned up with loads of kids in the pool unlike previous weeks when you might meet only one or two. Obviously during the Uk Easter Holidays this is a target destination and so if we come back we will avoid the UK Scholl holiday period.

During the day Noel was testing out some Laxido?? which worked in the end allowing us to take the mini scooter for a run prior to charging and folding up and pitting away. So having watched some of the Bahrain F1 practise  we took the scooter up the hill and round this estate which is much larger than we thought and there are huge houses down to the apartments we are staying in. With the battery sufficiently discharged we headed back to the apartment and charged the mobile whilst cooking the last remaining Costco steak from Seville, and it was excellent and I would, being the chef.

There were a few emails to address as importunely one of my cousins passed away about a week ago and the funeral is due to take place in Plymouth on the 25th April and so not sure right now if we can make it as we only get back on the 22nd with a visit to Oxford planned for the 24th. Lets see.

In the evening we watched the Sam Mendez film called 1917 which we have seen before but really enjoyed again, oh the horror of war make no sense.

Yesterday I touched on my swimming incident but here is another when young. I was on the Isle of Wight , cannot remember how old I was, but the plan was to collect different coloured sandstone in a glass tube which requires you to slowly climb up this cliff only without realising how high I had got I looked down and realised I would never make it down and so my Dad had to get some help to get me down. 


This probably brought on my fear of heights, flying never bothered me except on my first flight from Blackbush Airport, this will be told tomorrow.
