Portugal Dec 2010 - Day Four

Slept on the sofa last night, I must say it was a lot nicer than the bed! Except my dad decided to come and watch TV at 8am. Ta.

The cleaner wanted to come in and clean at just past 10am, ha you can fuck off!

I'm gonna buy another pair or two of Chinos when I get back, my grey Chinos are great, might get some black ones?

So, the hotel give you a card to get into your room, then you insert the card into a slot to turn the electricity on. This means that when you leave the room, you have to turn the electricity off. My dad says the card has been programmed to work. No, it's just a button. I took an old PayPal giftcard from out of my wallet and left it in the slot whilst we go out, my mum says i'm a genius... It's just common sense.

Arrived at Portimão Retail Park, there are about 6 shops, Decathlon and what looks like shoe shops and home furnishing shops. I'm gonna spend a bomb on Crocs and pillows!!

I bought two shirts today.. Result! From a supermarket ironically, no clothes shops here! Christmas is over so I no longer have an excuse to buy things for people. Bad times. I'll find a way to buy people things, even if they try to refuse.

My mum makes me laugh because she doesn't understand technology at all! She couldn't get wi-fi on her phone when me and my dad could.. "maybe it's the rain", "maybe it's the wind", "maybe it's because i'm wearing trainers". Not. A. Clue.

My dad rang for a taxi and we end up with a driver that can't speak English. Hilarity ensues. Trying to explain that we want to go to Portimão Centro was a hard task. He'll say somewhere and finish his sentence with 'Dik?'. My dad would take offence. He didn't take the time to learn basic Portuguese words. If he did, he would know it means 'yes'.

I'm also hoping that my deliveries will be waiting for me when I get back, I really liked the jumper that I ordered from Play, plus there was a massive saving on it. It should of been £75 but it was down to £17. Bargain!

US comedy is so much better than UK comedy. I've been watching Gary Unmarried, Accidentally On Purpose and How I Met Your Mother, and can't believe I've never seen them before.

An episode of Glee came on before we went out for a meal, I haven't seen this one, I thought i'd seen the whole of series one! Disappointed!

I lie, I have seen this one!

Very annoyed that most of my texts haven't been sending even though i've been charged by o2. I'm moving to Orange soon, possibly in the next few days.

There's thunder and lightning outside and it's very very windy. I'm sure it's not even this bad in Derby.

Why do Portuguese cars have seatbelts? Both taximen didn't wear them and they were wreckless drivers. God help us if they didn't wear seatbelts in Turkey.

My pumps have split. I knew they wouldn't last because they were only £4 from Primark. But now that it's raining... Wet socks!

Day Five will be a short post, unless I go overboard on the thinking on the plane. That'd hurt my head so I doubt that. The flight is at 11am, so we should be back in Birmingham at around 12:30-13:00.
