    Having a pool makes you lazy. It means that you don’t have to go far, you can just relax next to the pool to cool off and you don’t have to go searching for a lovely beach. So that is what we did today. The girls didn’t wake up until late, even Ruby made it past midday, the rooms have blackout blinds so it is pitch black and much easier to sleep, also the rooms are under the main level so it is cooler down there. Anyway, our morning passed with nothing happening.
    Our afternoon pretty much passed with nothing happening as well. Jess and I had some work to do, plus we had to do a call for a flat we are trying to get for Lily and Mr Bentlequerry, hopefully they will have somewhere to live next year. We did all start to feel hungry, but there was no chance of us venturing out to pick anything up, and we had been left a menu from somewhere that delivers so we figured that was a pretty good choice. We ordered some food, across a very dodgy phone connection, so we just had to put our faith in the universe and hope that it would arrive. The universe delivered and it arrived in good time, it was very impressive. Jess and I ordered a salad and a club sandwich, the girls all ordered pancakes. When it did all arrive, it was like Allegra had won the lottery. Her sister’s pancakes had two each, for some reason hers had four, smothered in a Nutella like sauce, with crumbled maltesers sprinkled over the top. It was like all her Christmases had come at once. We were all very jealous. It was all very delicious, no matter we had ordered, I’m not sure I have ever had a better salad.
    The rest of the day was very relaxed, and we didn’t feel a need to go very far, although eventually Jess and I did need to pop out to the supermarket so we had food for dinner. At this point Jess did comment that she thought the blog was getting a bit boring, too much same same and not enough variety, so apologies if you feel the same way. It has definitely been good to have this little rest from the pursuit of the unique and to just spend some time enjoying doing nothing. We ended the day with a bit more of the Olympics, tomorrow we are heading off to the place where they all (re) started, Athens. So that will be a bit of a change of pace for us all. And only two more sleeps.
