Diary entry: 17th December

"Not surprisingly we overslept and nearly missed breakfast (damn) so had to have it in the room. Barry nearly did a number over my request for fresh toast (why hotels can’t find a way of providing hot toast I’ll never know) but I managed to get it in the end. Actually, I honestly don’t think it’s a behaviour more like a preference, and I’m more likely to eat more of it if it is hot than cold. We found ourselves travelling at ‘lunchtime’ and stopped off at the service station to shop and get petrol. Barry’s eyes lit up at the sight of a Burger King and I gave in to temptation – letting him have his hamburger while I got the shopping. By the time we got back it was ‘too late’ for proper lunch so I had the old flapjack and apple standby. Still, I made up for it in the evening by having a really decent plate of pasta."
