eight euro supper yum! (Tag 2)

I'm not sure a stay in a hotel could get much better than this... I have a bottle of Pinot Girigio, brie, bread rolls, a Pot Korma (yeah... I know!) and strawberries to finish as I laugh through I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue on Radio 4 (long wave.. but only just!).

It's definitely preferable to going out into the smoky city and shouting over the crowds to work colleagues with whom I have already spent much of the day, and all for less than 8 euros (so much less than it would cost to go out, too!) In fact, I even managed to pick up a small travel kettle from a shop on the way down from the course (five out of the seven of us did the hour and a quarter walk - it was perfect weather for it, and we had a real laugh) so things are definitely looking up. I daresay I'll be making good use of it over the next few days, since I've bought some camomile tea and some soup. Once I've finished this entry (and returned to the hotel - it'll hopefully be possible to upload it using my USB memory stick and an internet cafÉ down the road) I'm going to settle down with a glass of wine and a notepad, and work out the lyrics to a song.

At the moment the idea of a tune called "earworm" appeals to me - with a very catchy hook... obviously! No links, today - I've not had particularly good internet access!

More, tomorrow - possibly including a tour round the (admittedly quite dark, even with all the lights on) hotel room. I'm sure you can't wait!
