I had an interesting night last night in the local bar whilst trying to use their wifi for my blog. I was so engrossed trying to fix a few problems (pretty unsuccessfully but I had a go) I was surprised when I was approached by someone. They wanted me to make their numbers up in a game of pool. I explained that I’d not played in years and even then I was pretty awful. We had fun and I was asked out by a Hungarian masseuse (that’s a new one). Having not been asked out in quite some time I panicked naturally assuming he was after my iPad or he was the local axe murderer. I politely declined. He also offered to show me around today which would have been nice but its hard enough trying to explain my illness without a language barrier – he may have got more than he bargained for when I’m lying the floor! Again I politely declined.

I really had to be careful. It’s difficult enough for a girl on their own without adding my illness to it. I stupidly hadn’t payed much attention to the hypnotist who was entertaining people for the evening until he headed in my direction. He tried to hypnotise me (I didn’t have much choice in the matter to be honest!). Poor guy had no chance I had a panic as soon as I’d closed my eyes. I was too busy thinking ‘I’m a girl on my own with a illness that leaves my very vulnerable with my eyes closed and my iPad in my bag with a guy trying to chat me up getting hypnotised’. Smart! Needless to say it didn’t work I was chanting ‘don’t sleep don’t sleep don’t sleep’ in my head. So if you click your fingers and I start walking around clucking like a chicken you will know why!

The weather is pretty terrible. I never though I’d be so glad that dad had left behind his fleece I’m practically living in it! I’ve been sitting in the balcony with about 12 layers on and the fleece over my red polka dot bikini (ever the optimist!) and a pair of socks. I’m still the only person who has been swimming in the pool. Understandable as I had to have a 30 minute boiling shower just to get rid of the brain freeze yesterday. Fingers still crossed for better weather 😉
