The next morning we were up in time to catch breakfast thanks to Dana's alarm.
Alarm is the right word - not being a morning person she had something that sounded like an alert in a nuclear power station. It scared the bejesus out of me even through my earplugs. AND she had it on snooze! When it went off again I decided to get up and get rid of the rest of my bejesus in the toilet just across the hall.
I WISH I'd videoed coming down the stairs to our room, and where the facilities were. We had our own bathroom (no bath, sez Limey) but for the rooms without there was a WC opposite, and next door was a bathroom (with bath), shower AND WC. And also a shower room - nothing but shower, but underfloor heating, heated towel rail, all toiletries and a super-smashing-great LARGE shower.
So I used these, because three girls in a room do need someone to take themself out of the way. And also I was worried I'd stink the room out embarrassingly with my morning bowels. And I couldn't resist the shower room and it's opportunity to cavort naked behind a locked door without worrying I was denying anyone else access
So, off to breakfast.
Again, I had to remove myself from the room in the end. For a nicer reason - Sandy was making it difficult for me to swallow... No, really I just wanted to get sorted for the day, and as mentioned the caffeine fiends had already indicated they needed further stimulants before moving.
The breakfast buffet from the left - fruits and fruit salads in bowls, pots of fromage frais, muesli, single person packets of cereal, plain yoghurt, cheese, honey and Marmite bottles, butter and marge, milk, orange and apple juice.
The hot table from the left - croissants, scrambled egg and bacon in the chafing dishes. Tomato and brown sauce as condiments. I didn't fancy the bacon, but Dana and Limey partook. I will praise the eggs though. Toast came with my pot of tea, and both were refillable if required. Coffee was via a help yourself flask-thingy. Which the naughty Dwellars emptied all on their own and had to be refilled...
