First Day

After a sleep interrupted night I woke up bleary eyed and not a little apprehensive.

The day progressed without noticeable hitches, though I did manage to ask the retiring Principal who she was. Possibly not my best career move, but then it was her last day, so there are certainly worse scenarios.

This evening ......... well remember my comments about the dining room and the interesting service. Gordon Ramsey eat your heart out. Tonight I waited over an hour for my order. The waitresses very properly apologised to the other patrons, also waiting, but somehow a lone female does not seem to merit the same attention.

However the cold crept into my bones as I sat practising meditation and tuning in and out to other people's conversations. Eventually after an hour and ten minutes, I grabbed what was left of my glass of wine and asked them to send my meal to my room. Of course it arrived not five minutes after me, making me feel quite petulant.

The meal was hot and delicious.

Hm I can't help being very thankful that breakfast is buffet style.
