T.F.I Friday!

That Friday feeling is here, as of course, its Friday now in my camping trip recollections.

To be perfectly honest, Friday really came and went without any major events. We went shopping, got more wine, read more of our books, and I even got a new book which I’m really excited about actually. It sounds fantastic. Its all about archaeology with lots of historic reference and just the sort of thing I love.

I feel I have to tell you also, that we have been listening for the first time to an audio book in the car – The Quest by Wilbur Smith. Its brilliant! and we really enjoyed it, a definite for the future. Its worth noting, however, that you need to be relatively careful with the book content before listening to in a car and stopping at traffic lights, petrol stations or car parks. The book we were listening sounds quite reasonable but in parts it was a little, er graphic, and possibly a bit too graphic. One thing we noticed about when you’re in the car and driving is, you need the volume turned up quite high to hear it, especially when its on a n ipod. Then when you stop driving, for example at a petrol station, it blares out as if you’re a boy racer with the bass turned up to the max. Not a problem at all unless your book is describing some romantic interaction between two characters in what can only be described as explicit detail. Embarrassing is the only word that springs to mind here.

Help, there has been an invasion today. Surprisingly really as the weather has been so bad, but lots of people have appeared as if from nowhere!. The previously empty field behind us on the campsite is now full with tents the size of Buckingham Palace and full with complete families of people. Where did they all come from, they seemed to just materialise.

So with our newly almost full campsite we embark on our last but one night of our holiday.

Summary:
Friday – mostly dry Night – It’s a miracle! No rain, a clear night and more cold, but the stars are beautiful!
