A real rollercoaster today

Vanessa's battery is dead. Proper dead. Not even a splutter. Tourist info woman gave off strong “not my department” vibes. We now have a man — a campervan man — arriving tomorrow at 10am. Took two hours and mild despair to arrange.

Bus to a “highly recommended” shopping mall... which turned out to be Cribbs Causeway in disguise. Same shops, more seagulls.

Had to stand the whole ride. Mr C was flung into orbit when the driver hit a speed bump. Bag flying, limbs flailing — looked like a startled chimpanzee on a trampoline. I laughed so hard my eyelids turned inside out.

Airbnb host asked if the maintenance guy could pop in. I said no — we’re literally in transit. She then says he’s already been. Sink still blocked. Shower head is now permanently vertical and water can only sprays horizontally... straight over my head and hits the opposite wall. Short-person discrimination. Hope she hasn't paid him yet. Rubbish job!

Dinner: sausage, onion and red grape pizza. Cocktails followed — well deserved.

Exhausted. Slightly sticky. Mildly cross.

For some reason I can only upload basic photo, no extras or choosing a thumbnail which is annoying.
