Slept for 13 hours straight.. Refreshing. Although I did wake up with an aching back because of the hard beds. Dad came and woke me at 11 by opening the blinds. Yeah thanks for that.
Today we're going to Portimão, apparently it has a big shopping centre... No doubt it will be closed. There isn't anything to do here and all the Portugese people look miserable. Note to self: Don't come back.
My Dad seems to think that he knows where everything is, of course, he doesn't. We trecked right around Portimão looking for the big retail park, it was the place that i'd pointed out on the taxi from the airport. But my dad knows best, of course.
And why does my mum seem to think I want to go in every shop that sells menswear, I do have eyes for myself, if I want to go in there, I'll bloody go in.
So my parents have gone to where they stayed last time they came because theres a cafe that does a nice latte apparently. There's nothing else there so i'm staying in the hotel. Get me home please. I'm fed up.
Found a spot with free wi-fi in Portimão, so I downloaded the Word Lens app but they only do Spanish at the moment... That's a big help pfft.
So after the day where we went round all the shops, I still remain with just one purchase this holiday, a bottle of water on the plane. I'll be going crazy on the spending when I get home. I'm sure my personal fashion adviser (Alex) will help me get some new clothes.
I wish she'd text me first rather than me texting her. I don't want to seem like a nuisance. Fact is, I just want to talk to her. Yes, i'm not the most interesting person to talk to, and I can struggle to find a topic of conversation alot of the time but I don't mind as long as i'm talking to her. I'm sure she doesn't feel the same. Then again, I don't have a clue how she feels. She's a complex person.
So i've also been thinking about when I shall start driving. After Joe ever so kindly bought me driving lessons for Christmas, I will be booking them soon. Truth is, I do want to drive, for convenience rather than necessity. I just don't feel confident in learning. We'll see how it goes anyway.
I'm also thinking about upcoming birthdays and what to get people. I guess i'm better off asking but nobody tells you, they just tell you not to spend money on them. I'm going to buy something whether you tell me what to get or not. If you tell me, you'll definately want it. And I'm not buying you something for a few quid, you may not be able to buy me something to the same value but it's not the cost that matters. I just want to put smiles on faces.
We went to a little Italian place this evening, twas about the only place open again. Sat right in front of the TV watching Arsenal v Chelsea. Arsenal had just gone 3-0 up when we left, had Ravioli to eat. It wasn't bad, a bit on the cold side actually. I don't have a clue what I can do for the next two days... I might end up staying in the room watching Fox.
Come to think about it, i've yet to see another person staying at the Hotel. It seems like we're the only ones here. It seems like we're the only ones in the Algarve. It's dead.
It rained today.
