Met Lyndon & Jan

I rang Lyndon to have a chat about the mentor trip on Tuesday, he invited me to his house for a Sunday lunch (after 21/2 weeks of burgers and fries how could I say no lol). Lyndon and his lovely wife Jan picked me up from the Sandman hotel and took me for a drive around Raymond. It's a small town but very nice and no yobs on the corners of the streets. They showed me around their house which has 5 bedrooms & I met Luke their son. We sat down to a roast dinner and spent the rest of the night chatting about their move to Canada and how much they love it over here. We also chatted about ways of saving money when you're out and about in a truck & where to get the free showers and coffees when you fill up with fuel. I stayed the night in their guest room, I have been finding it hard to sleep since I've been here & I fell alseep as soon as my head hit the pillow. In the morning I had a very bad headache and I didn't feel too well, Lyndon and Jan got within 200 feet of H&R to drop me into work then they had to stop and let me out where I was sick!! They dropped me back to the hotel & it seems there is a nasty bug going around. I spent the rest of the day on the bed asleep. I woke up at about 7pm. Later on I had a shower & I have made a number of complaints as one minute the waters boiling & the next freezing. I had just covered myself in soap when it turn burning hot I moved out of the way pretty sharpish but I lost my footing and fell backwards through the shower curtain I hit my bad arm and head on the side where the sink is and landed on my back on the floor if it wasn't for the shower curtain slowing my fall down I could of been really hurt but as it is it's only my arm that hurts a bit (yeah ok you can stop laughin now)!!
