Hello there everyone,

Sorry if you looked yesterday but in all honesty I was up by 10 but was having a bit of a problem remembering thursday night! It actually wasn't the amount of drink consumed but rather H & I made the fatal mistake of not eating before we went out & therefore both suffered from 'early tipsyness' followed by severe bout of amnesia!!
The cure was huge fry-up in the Underground pub & sundowners at Barasti. (No sun yesterday though!!!)

However, H & I do remember having a wonderful conversation with some Saudis which we can remember saying was fascinating but can't actually recall any of it!!!! (If at a later date it comes back to us I will tell you about it). Oh boys, just so as you know, I remember our conversations but Dad doesn't - haha!!

You will be pleased to know that Barasti didn't disappoint!

We met up with Thelma, Louise & Z who had been to the 'weight loss show' at the Marina next door which they said was full of potions & lotions & plastic surgery places!!!

We were catching up on thursday night's activities with Thelma as we had hoped she may fill in a few of our blanks (& no, it didn't help much), while we were waiting for TT (top tipster) & her husband D when we spotted a very drunk man (must have been a bruncher).

Now the clue to man's state was in the walk! You know the one..... 2 steps forward, one to the left, one to the right  & one back!!!! As I have told you before the pool is there, unused with barriers round it, well the barriers did their job, drunk man was saved by the barrier on more than one occasion! He then made it the side area where he spied the shower...... Oh yes we were going to see a great incident we thought.
As he stood in the shower area we could almost virtually see his brain working, (you know what I mean) where the drunk person gets very interested in something & their concentation is all consuming - wanting to know how 'it' works. Well, he swayed a bit & stared a bit & wham, pressed the button.... (You could feel the disappointment of everyone who had spotted him) no water!!! However undeterred, Man went to each side of the shower & tried every button! .... Still no water! This did not seem to faze him though because he stood his ground (with a bit of swaying here & there) & proceeded to 'wash' his hair in the imaginary water followed by a very thorough wash of his 'private parts' & bottom!!! There was much laughter by all those that could see this dry shower!

It wasn't too much later when Louise spotted a greyish haired man standing all alone at a table with quite a ginger moustache, it took a while & much staring to realise it was a stick-on moustache, now what you have to realise is that it is a good laugh at brunch when you see fancy dress (often hen & stag dos), it maybe totally over the top things like 20 barbies, or 10 roman soldiers (if you remember we saw 2 last week) or maybe all the men in red trousers or as I'm sure was the case here 10 men with stick-on taches
However, when you are stood on your own at 5 o'clock in the afternoon it is actually very funny for a very different reason! When you appear 'normal + sober' with your glass of white wine + try to chat up a couple of ladies with your stick-on moustache flapping a bit because the sticky is wearing off you just look plain ridiculous!!!!

Now before I go one question - why, no matter where you go in the world do they NEVER have enough ladies toilets????

Love Jane
