more about the holiday

The thoughts make me laugh now but at the time it was quite alarming.   On our first breakfast day a fellow (not my fellow surprisingly) set the toaster on fire and the alarms throughout the hotel screamed out so we all piled out
into the carpark some still clutching their toast and me (handbag).  We did not return to the dining room as it was smoky and smelly.   Second morning we woke up to find our bathroom flooded as water trickled out of the cystern so we eventually went off for the day half ready as we had to move pronto to allow the plumber to get in.
That's that -  we were saying to each other the following evening as we all returned from a day out but as we put our foot in the entrance hall the alarms went off again and the kitchen staff ran outside  (not before us though!)
this time it was an over heated hotplate in the kitchen but it took the next hour of on/off sirens before they set the alarms again.   'They must get it right so they can go off again about 2.00am' says my dear one!   They didn't.
