I can't say I woke up feeling fantastic this morning but not as bad as expected. What a lovely mess when we got up. Thankfully Bungy and Cauffers were up and they had cleared all the bottles off the dining room table and put all the dirty glasses in the kitchen. It took Keith and I about 2 hours or so to clean up. The amount of glasses was such a pain - without a dishwasher! And I love how our feet stuck to our floor. Gross!
Speedy, Rach, Dave, Keith & I decided we needed a greasy breakfast so we went to a little cafe in Helston. It wasn't great, but kind of served the purpose. Keith and I came home and enjoyed a very lazy day watching TV.
