The morning we left for the last stretch of journey to Cornwall, I had my breakfast served with a side of "you look just like a little boy from the back." That's what I need first thing in the morning. To be told that people are gonna think I'm male. Nice. When it came down to it, apparently that wasn't quite enough, so she said, "hmm, actually, I don't think boys even have it that short." It's a number 3 in the neck. So I'm beyond male.
Once we got to Cornwall and settled into the caravan we went food shopping. There was a *slight* misunderstanding in regards to fresh juice. Caravans aren't renowned for having huge fridges and due to a... misunderstanding on my part we ended up with 5 litres of fresh juice and smoothie. Ahem. Parents were not happy. We were quite pleased.
We chilled out for the rest of the day. On the Sunday we had breakfast and body boarded for a an hour or two. We got out, chilled, had lunch and hit the water again. You can get from our caravan to the sea in less than two minutes, it's perfection. Apart from this Massive Hill of Sand that you have to battle your way up when you want to go back.
We headed down for our first surf lesson today and I went in to settle some debt I had with a certain instructor before changing. I overheard that our lesson was cancelled due to lack of wave. I went and told my family so they'd stop changing. Mark came with me and we rebooked the lesson. I settled my debt with my instructor. He smiled at me in the most delicious way. There is going to be some flirting in the water.
We went to St Ives instead. I picked up a book for £1 (I've finished 2 out 4 already) and some other trinket bits. It was a good day and it was sunny. We had lunch at the same place Lexy and I had eaten. It was as good as I remembered. Absolutely delicious.
We had some bread and olives for starts and then I went for a steak sandwich with chips for mains. "Rare, rare as it comes," I told the waitress. It came to me well done. I asked for it to be redone and it came back bloody. It was delicious. I finished off with an Eton Mess and actually polished off both of the siblings white chocolate cheesecakes too. I slept most of the afternoon, all that food has pretty much knocked me down.
On a final note I'm sharing a room with the youngest sibling. That way the two of them argue less and seeing as I'm a heavy sleeper she can get up when she wants without anyone waking up and because she's a reasonably heavy sleeper I don't have to worry about going to bed later than her. What it does mean is that our room is the weirdest looking thing you'll ever see. My side has the bed made with 5 pillows (I like comfort) and perfectly straight clothes stacked on the shelf and books leant in an excessively organised way on the side. The younger siblings side is a tip. Clothes are overflowing off the shelf, things are falling down, her bed is never made, there are clothes and electronics all over it. It's quite a sight, but my rule is, as long as it's off the floor, I don't care.
