Welcome to todays diary entry! This was it, me vs my arch nemesis but man was i better prepared this time and i will never ever get caught out again. What a huge huge difference it makes having these sea sick tablets with us. I had probably gone over board (pun was 100% intended) with the sea sickness stuff because i didn’t just have tablets i also had some things that you stick behind your ears and i also had those wrist things as well so i was totally prepared for whatever the Bay of Biscay had to throw at me.
We had been watching the sea forecast for about 5 days now and at no point did it ever lead to anything sinister or anything that would make me worry about what we had in store but on our way back last time the waves were not bad at all and i still manage to be unwell but once again i i do think there is an element of self harming with that as i may have over indulged in an Italian liquid tea that time and i didn’t do that this time. I wasn’t going to have any but id did get a little bit excited so i did have 2 or 3 pints just as we were setting off.

Looking at these tablets it did say maybe don’t drive much or drink with them as they can make you a little bit drowsy and little did i know that the best way to combat sea sickness wasn’t actually drinking beer but it was taking these tablets and then feeling so tired that you sleep for most of the trip. I think by the time i had finshed watching the first bit of entertainment and used the food voucher i was literally sitting almost falling asleep at the table i could keep myself awake. So Mum kindly escorted me back to the room and i had to lie down and go to sleep. Honestly it was 19:20 when i went to bed.
I was woken up briefly later by a 2 year old child shouting “wake him up, wake him up” which is what we do for a game when i am pretending to be asleep but annoyingly this time i was actually asleep and he was bopping me on the nose. This was about 10:30pm as Mum and Beef had gone back out to paint the town red and went to see the later night entertainment which included a magician/ comedian and some people singing. I then woke again briefly at about 02:30 but fell asleep again. I just felt so tired i cannot remember a time when i have felt like that before.
