The bus was there within 10 mins. There wasn't any seats available so I plonked myself in the middle of the bus aisle and finished book number 9 of the true blood sagas. The last one I have on my kindle. When I finished I let out a disappointed huff - forgetting that Lee was 3 people away in the aisle so I looked like a lone traveller with an imaginary friend.

We booked a scuba trip for the morning leaving at 9am. Everything was paid for with vouchers. You had to buy food vouchers at the start of the day.

It was cold fried egg, cold nearly toasted bread and shredded cabbage. Lee eat it and then mine. No matter how hungry I was I wasn't THAT hungry.
