Another beautiful day began with Nim once more reading Harry Potter and drinking coffee on the veranda. His second cup of coffee was bought back to bed, where he automatically but accidentally disturbed me. Over breakfast Nim delighted in telling me how great I am at being bad at sharing a bed, apparently I had fully wrapped myself in all the covers, wiggled over onto his side of the bed and kicked him a few times.
The morning was planned to be spent on the beach reading ( for me ) and building sandcastles. Nim wanted my help so said I would join him shortly as I was only just settling down to read. But he had only just started digging, when an almighty gust of wind bought a large chill and a few spot of rain which caused all of the staff to run and start gathering the cushions and bedding on the loungers. We followed suit to find shelter on the veranda of the cottage.
This meant that the morning was actually spent playing more cards. I managed to win racing demon 2:1 but did get a little grumpy when Nim won his game.
After a hunt for lunch, we went for a wander and explored parts of the resort we hadn’t been to before. This led us to finding the most picturesque gym, which overlooks the sea from the top of a cliff. Nim remarked that if this was the view, he might actually contemplate joining a gym.
I headed over to the main swimming pool, while Nim had a small siesta, to read. Nim joined not too long after and was settled for a while before he got bored, This lead to me finding a diving stick, sitting at the side of the pool and technically playing ‘fetch’ with Nim. He did challenge himself to collect them in one breath, starting from where I was sat. Once he was slightly worn out, which did take a while but allowed me to read a good amount of my book, he sat on the side and created diving challenges for me.
As the sun was setting we thought it best to get ready for dinner. We meandered over to the main villa and played some more Othello ( I definitely have the most skill in this game ) while enjoying a cocktail or two. To our surprise, we were collected for dinner as apparently we weren’t dining in the main lounge as it was our last night. We were taken to the main pool which was dotted with lamps and beautifully lit, giving it a blue and glowing tint. Dinner was eaten, it was as delicious as ever, wine was drunk and conversation was relaxed.
We both collapsed into bed for what, without our knowledge, was going to be an interesting night.
