Drink this stuff..............

Because it makes going on very fast roller coasters SO much more painful............

Ahem.

I feel like my body has been attacked by a group of little gnomes armed with little lead hammers.

I have a bruise in the centre of my back, my knees feel battered and my elbows and hips ache and I am sure I heard them creak. Various spots on the inside of my head hurt where my brain bounced off them and my neck is filled with crackly bits from attempting to keep said cranium attached to my body.

This is because all of the roller coasters Sarah wanted to go on where the ones that didn't go upside down. This meant that they were of the good old wooden construction sort. This in turn means they do tend to rattle you about alot! and plunge down almost vertical drops. And change direction with head snapping swiftness.

She loved them.

I am in pain. Oh well. I not as bad off as Ships who seems to have caught a very nasty cold.

This may be due to the full gamut of weather we had - everything in one day on most days, Bright sun, cloud, drizzle, torrential rain - I sat with Sarah on one of those big swinging boat rides in the warmest and heaviest rain ever experienced on a ride as Sarah and I giggled at how daft we were being. Mind you the twenty or so Spanish kids on it with us were all singing some song or other so it was all rather jolly.

The Portaventure park is a great place and each of the themed areas (Mediterranean, Polynesian, far East and Far West) were "spookyed up" with bones and spiders and cobwebs. And various monsters would roam the park during the day trying to scare people.

Oh and on Halloween I got Sarah a big gory cut on the face and we made her up like a corpse. Might just show you some pictures of that. Mebbe. If you're good. (you have no idea how funny it was sitting next to Sarah on a ride where everyone else is screaming and she is sitting being totally blank and not reacting because she was being a dead girl.....she almost managed it for the whole ride!)

Anyway, enough of this. I am sure Mrs F or Queene Mab or Shipscook will fill you in on more details and there will be photos to bore you all silly from us as well.

As for me, I am off back to bed to await my breakfast.

Yeah it's another tough old Sunday ahead of me.
