Day 197
... wazzing it down. We were asked if anyone fancies doing a boat cruise, fishing, skydiving? Not bloody likely. It’s cold, wet and pretty dark. There’s really only one suitable activity in this type of weather – a nanna nap. Ooh, cwtched up all warm in my duvet, I could sleep for hours. Which is exactly what I did.
