Well, that was a weird one. We checked in when the accommodation staff were just finishing up, so they had the old windows open to air the corridors and the rooms. Getting ready, the noise of the wind whooshing through the place was very strange.
Meh.
Meal, night and all that jazz went well. By 2ish in the morning we were pure tired, a long week, so went up to our room. I brushed me teeth, took off my wedding ring, washed me face and put on some moisturizer. I woke up at 4am cause my missus was leaning across me, finishing off the bottle of water we brought back to the room. Id drank most of it, beforehand and she was parched.
Il go down to the bar and get a jug of iced water or a few bottles of the stuff. Thanks, baby - says she. Off I pop and there is still around 40 stragglers drinking away. The poor eastern European bartender that had to deal with this crew of pissheads.
Im told to have a pint before I go back to bed and be socialable. fukk it. A pint of Arthurs and a jamey. Il have the one. Stay an hour and get back up to the room with me water. Place the jug and two glasses by her bedside and head back into the bathroom to wash my teeth again.
Theres me watch.
Theres me chain.
But where the fukk is me wedding ring? Crawled on all fours searching for it, no joy.
Spent an hour tearing the room apart and getting an earful from the missus for losing it. The night porters actually called the room to make sure all was ok, such was the grief I was getting. Was about to flip the double bed over so I could check under, when I checked my carrier bag was checked instead.
There was the ring. In a side pocket of the bag.
Weird as fukk.
