Looks like rain!

Good morning, there was a huge downpour last night and it looks like we could be in for rain all day. What to do if it’s raining- eat and drink - joy. We looked rather silly sitting in our beach wear whilst drinking our hot drinks in the coffee bar so back to the room to dress sensibly for the weather! At least we will get use of the brolly in the wardrobe. We walked over to the shops to top up on holiday tat and get room supplies of crisps and lemon puff biscuits. I’m such a wimp, I’ve been sat on the bed with my coat on, I may have to get the blanket down if this weather continues. Time to hit the mini bar and optics in the room, we could make our own cocktails, 1 shot of each spirit!
One of my favourite activities on holiday is giving people names so far we have the child golam and eye lashes, mr neon pants and his amazing cocktail! Pinocchio, slapper, dad, Santa and his elf, isn’t it strange that you always see the same people all the time or is everyone else just ‘normal’ looking. 
It’s  been raining all day but in a way that is good as we have had to relax and do nothing. Sometimes just going down to the pool and finding a sunbed takes effort. The most difficult thing I have had to do today is walk to the restaurant and chew or walk to a bar and drink. We were in the pool bar this afternoon when they started to bingo in loads of different languages, that is the one activity that really gets on my wick, it’s too fraught especially when the winning call isn’t bingo but instead chico, chico, chimichanga! They’ve called the next number before you can get that mouthful out. 
whilst in the bar we noticed slapper had attached herself to another couple from Manchester - good luck to them. I wonder how she has faired today what with the weather being bad and most people sheltering away from the public areas. 
Tonight, the pre dinner entertainment in the lobby was a bloke on his saxophone, we got a glass of champagne and listened to a few tunes before going in to the restaurant to eat. We have eaten so much on this holiday, even eating has become a chore but it breaks up the day.
The entertainment tonight in the theatre was 3 woman singing, it was ok but the dresses were the best things about them. Mind you, I should have made the most of them as after that it was karaoke - Trevor from England - what the bloody hell? It kind of went from bad to worse and when the kids started having a go that was it and we called it a night - goodnight x
