Last night we got the opportunity to give the hot tub on our private property a try. It was deliciously warm in the cool climate. I relaxed, gazing heavenward when WOW! A shooting star! That must be a good sign.
The RV has 3 main areas to sleep. In the back of the RV is a queen sized bed, squeezed next to the shower/toilet closet. Area 2 is the kitchen table which transforms into a surprisingly comfortable couch. Area 3 is the "grandma's attic", the part above the driver and passenger's seats. This area has become a makeshift storage area: when we dont' know where to put something, we throw it up there.
After many restless nights on our vacation thus far, Rob and I agreed to sleep in separate areas in order to fully stretch out and hopefully get decent night's sleep.
This began the laziness aspect of our trip that can only be described as "professional".
I slept in the back and was asleep in minutes. Rob, in area 2 on the makeshift couch, stayed up until the wee hours of the night playing on the computer.
Morning brought happy doggies ready to eat and do their business. We awoke around 830am, which is sleeping in for the dogs. After my coffee, I persuaded the sleepy brit on the couch for a continuing marathon of watching all of the episodes of the TV show The Office, BBC version. Rob's job was to sit and hold the laptop. I provided drinks, breakfast and basic maintenance of doggies and the like. This lasted for many hours, up until 1pm, where, of course, we had to watch more TV; my soap opera. Here we are at lunch time. So, it's my turn on the couch while the English Butler does the dishes and reads.
At this point we were unabashedly ashamed at our level of laziness and figured we should at least walk or something. The dogs were happy to lead us. They love it here (now that everyone is healthy!). We walked around the beautiful lake, enjoying the view and a heron that kept running from Sir Ricky. We had a quick stop at the little market on site, where we bought more firewood and souveniers.
The rest of the afternoon we took turns at the local showers. I can't rave enough about the water pressure! WOW. At dinner, Rob made Chicken Fried Rice while I dined on Tomatoes, Blue Cheese with Balsamic Vinagarette and Rice (really roughing it!) and we completed the Office marathon.
Tonight our big decisions consist of whether or not enjoying the hot tub again, watching a movie or roasting marshmellows. Such hard decisions.
Tomorrow may bring excitement. The forecast calls for rain and/or thunderstorms, something we haven't yet experienced in this RV yet. That may also include a long day in the RV. We do have umbrellas which may lead to an exciting walk if thunderstorms do hit the area.
One more day and then Friday we are back on the road. I'm proud of our achievement as Professional Lazy Bums.
Much love to you all,
Annie and Rob, Lazy Bums of the Manor
