So there are three bits of information to record.
Firstly, we are back in Chez Jones. We have travelled 210 miles in the last two days, but now the outside world is hidden from view, the curtains are closed, the lounge lights are dimmed and we are curled up on the couch, relaxing with a nice cup of tea after having just polished off a milkshake picked up on the way home from a certain fast food outlet. Ahem.
Secondly, we had a lovely time in Bath. And Wells.
In the former place the hotel was very nice, our room was absolutely gorgeous and the breakfast this morning was very yummy. Soph did us proud with that choice of a place to stay.
Also in Bath the restaurant we ate at last night – Aqua in Walcott Street – was another truly excellent choice from the Soph. The food on my dishes was fantastic (so were the contents of my glasses. Hic!).
The people at the next table were both hilarious and contemptible, and an outstanding example of why humanity needs to buck its ideas up or just become extinct.
After a lovely meal we walked through the freezing night air down to the taxi rank outside Bath Abbey and saw, on the brief walk, typical examples of the kind of late-Friday-night lifeforms that I used to see so often when I worked in that city.
Not many minutes later we were tucked up in a football pitch-sized bed that was extremely comfortable.
Today we spent some time in Bath (and saw a brilliant street entertainer – photos may follow!) before nipping down to Wells for lunch, walking, talking, browsing the bookstalls in the market and just chilling out.
As soon as I put the laptop down we are in for an episode of 24. Or two. 🙂
The third detail to record is that as today is the 31st I have reached the end of my self-imposed challenge to post once a day for January and give each post a one-word title.
Thank heavens for that! It was very easy but as the end of the month loomed closer it seemed to put me under more pressure.
Anyway… 24 beckons.
Oh well done you. You will be aware that I failed miserably at my own post-a-day challenge.
Erm, yay you!
I didn’t know that you were even attempting the post-a-day thing. I don’t remember you mentioning it, and as you’re such a prolific poster anyway, I hardly noticed. But, as Sally says, well done.
And 24? We’re still waiting for Season 7 to come out on DVD. I CANNOT watch just one episode a week on Sky. With adverts.
Sally, I don’t know if I’ll do it again. January’s a bit of a quiet month at the best of times!
Masher, what I was up to came out in one of the comments when Merry started taking the pee about the brevity of post titles.
We’re on Season 5 of 24. Season 7 is being recorded for us by Soph’s dad. 🙂
