Day 9. A day late... Soz.

Hiya!
Well, today was officially the only full day of my holiday. I was woken at 6am by my youngest niece. Whose stupid idea was it to stay in a tin can with 2 other adults and 2 children under 5?! Anyhoo – I got up feeling a little wobbly from last night’s wine and beer, but felt much better after a luke warm shower in a draughty campsite shower block, a gallon of tea and 3 toasted buttered hot cross buns. It is Easter after all.
Today we decided to have a little explore around Ilfracombe. My GOD! We walked miles!! Any guilt I have been feeling in the last couple of days for not doing much in the way of exercising has totally been cancelled out by the MILES we covered today. Seriously, I have a Border collie, you know, a ‘working dog’ that can generally walk, run and play all day and she is currently comatose at my feet. That’s how far we walked.
I was very good today too – I haven’t touched any of my Easter eggs. I had a healthy lunch of bacon, egg, chips and beans (I even ate my salad garnish) and a mint choc chip ice cream with a chocolate flake... Oh hang on – that’s quite fattening and crap isn’t it?! Well I’m not on a diet and I’ve walked a million miles so I’m not beating myself up!
I’m now sat with a glass of wine – surrounded by my sun-kissed family feeling all warm and tired, waiting for pizza to cook and enjoying my last day of freedom before I am forced to climb a million and one steps in the morning as penance for enjoying myself for the last couple of days. Thanks for the motivation, Dad. I think.
UPDATE – I’m now sat in the pub (10.30pm) with only HALF a lager – desperately trying to connect to the internet to post this stupid blog but stupid Devon has no stupid internet connection so it’s gonna have to wait til the morning. Sorry for letting you all down....  :O/
UPDATE UPDATE - no wifi on the beaches in Devon apparently so the posting had to wait til I got home. ie now. 11.52pm.
