Day 2 - The Lake

Well after what was a amazing nights sleep i decided to wounder downstairs and start my holiday. It was about 8am and yet it was already far hotter then most days even get in England, i was looking forward to taking a nice swim in the lake and have a lovely relaxing day. Sadly this just wasn't going to happen as it seemed the lake had a 'pollution warning' on it and it was advised not to go in the water at all. I wanted to see what it was like for my self, how bad could it be if they just advised you not to go in?

Well the answer was very bad i went down and saw a few dead

fish washed up by the dock and the water didn't look very friendly at all (see picture). So it was easy to say we wouldn't be going in the lake for a while.

So we decided it was time to head out and get something for breakfast, we went down to this little place where my grandparents go alot. The food was lovely, but it seemed every time i put my coffee cup down a women would come over and top it back up, and when i finally said i have had enough thank you she looked at me like i had just spat in her face.

After we had eaten we headed for the shop, are main thing we had to find was fox urine (you spray it on your garden and it keeps sunks and stuff away), we went into 3 gardening stores each time asking if they had any, each getting a look like we had two heads and where asking if we could rip there arms off and eat them. Needless to say they where not the brightest bunch of people to ever work in a gardening store, but in the end we did find some so its all good.

We then had to stop off at enough store to get food, (now as this point i need to tell you my grandma is blind) my grandad walk around the store reading off what was down each row to see if we needed to go down there as always my grandma had her shopping list in her mind, and wouldn't write it down or even tell my grandad what she needed. So we where walking around then he says do we need any kitty liquor, we both looked at him wondering what the hell he meant then i saw kitty litter, that was what he had meant to say...at least we think so who knows maybe they do make liquor to for cats?

After we had bought everything we headed home where for most of the day we just relaxed in the crazy hot heat. Some family came over that evening and we had a mini party and BBQ which was nice, even at 10pm it was still in the mid 80's so we slowly baked most of the day.

Until tomorrow i will say good bye and have a great day/evening
